Abstract:
The present work covers the phylogenetic relationship of nine genera of family Menoponidae (Phthiraptera: Amblycera), recorded from Karachi region, Pakistan. These are analyzed cladistically and shown by the cladogram, using their apomorphic characters. The key to the genera of family Menoponidae has also been formulated for the nine genera. This is the first attempt to cladistic analysis of the family Menoponidae from the region.
