Relationships of Stevardiinae based on morphological studies. Phylogenetic relationships among major groups of characid and stevardiin taxa according to morphological analyses by (a) Malabarba and Weitzman [6], (b) Mirande [4], and (c) Ferreira et al. [20]. Black branches and names indicate Stevardiinae taxa. The black circle on the internal branches indicates the synapomorphic loss of the supraorbital bone in (a) and (b), a diagnostic character for Characidae sensu Oliveira et al. [12] (except for Iguanodectinae in A). Asterisks (*) indicate taxa with inseminating strategy
