This paper targets the nearly cosmopolitan weevil subfamily Lixinae. A phylogenetic analysis of one mitochondrial and two nuclear DNA fragments obtained from 87 Lixinae and 49 outgroup terminals strongly supports the monophyly of the subfamily. The molytine tribe Mecysolobini is the likeliest sister group of Lixinae; adults of both taxa share the likely synapomorphic condition of the greatly shortened labial palpi.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Larisa Ts Khobrakova"

  • - Larisa Ts Khobrakova's recent research primarily focuses on the molecular phylogeny of the weevil subfamily Lixinae, contributing significantly to the understanding of its evolutionary relationships within the Curculionidae family.! - Her study, published in Zootaxa, utilizes phylogenetic analyses based on mitochondrial and nuclear DNA fragments from a substantial sample of Lixinae to assert the monophyletic nature of the subfamily.! - The findings suggest that the Mecysolobini tribe is the closest sister group to Lixinae, highlighting a shared evolutionary trait of greatly shortened labial palpi in both groups, thereby refining existing classifications within the subfamily.
