Abstract
The generic relationship of the family Pamphiliidae which is divided into 9 genera is analyzed by means of cladistic analysis.The results of cladistic analysis indicate that it is reasonable to divide Pamphiliidae into two subfamilies: Cephalciinae and Pamphiliinae.Subdividing Pamphiliinae into Pamphiliini and Neurotomini is supported by cladistic analysis.Pamphiliini is a monophyletic group,it consists of Pamphilius +Onycholyda +(Pseudocephaleia + Kelidoptera);Neurotomini is another monophyletic group,which includes only one genus: Neurotoma.At the same time,the present system of Cephalciinae is supported by cladistic analysis,Cephalciinae is a monophyletic group too,which includes Caenolydiani +(Chinolydini + Cephalciliini).Monophyletic group of Cephalciliini consists of Acantholyda + Cephalcia.
