Huang, W., Zhuang, J., Liang, X., Li, W., Wang, X., & Chen, X. 2026 Phylogeny and evolutionary history of the tribe Scymnini Mulsant, 1846 (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) based on a multi-locus dataset, with emphasis on the Asian lineage. Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 215: 108504

Notes: The objectives of this study were: (1) to propose, to our knowledge, the first most comprehensive phylogenetic hypothesis of generic relationships within the tribe to date and (2) to estimate divergence times for the principal clades within the tribe. The resulting phylogenetic framework clarifies intergeneric relationships and supports the validity of several genera with previously disputed taxonomic status. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ympev.2025.108504
