Overcoming the effects of rogue taxa: Evolutionary relationships of the bee flies

PLoS Currents, 2011
Bombyliidae (5000 sp.), or bee flies, are a lower brachyceran family of flower-visiting flies that, as larvae, act as parasitoids of other insects. The evolutionary relationships are known from a morphological analysis that yielded minimal support for higher-level groupings.
