The definition and limits of this group have changed considerably during its history. Recent authors treat Senodoniini as a tribe within Dendrometrinae, usually close to Dimini, but this placement has never been rigorously tested. Here, we shed new light on the systematic position and limits of Senodoniini by performing a combined phylogenetic analysis of two nuclear and two mitochondrial molecular markers. Our results recovered Senodoniini not monophyletic, and placed them into the Lissominae complex, where they formed a clade with Austrelater Calder &amp; Lawrence (Protelaterini). Molecular phylogeny is in agreement with the adult morphology. Additionally, we examined the morphology of a monotypic genus Rostricephalus Fleutiaux from Southeast Asia, which was previously classified in various Elateridae groups including Senodoniini, and its position was always uncertain. This genus shares morphological characters with Protelaterini. We provide morphological redescriptions as well as the figures of main diagnostic characters for Senodonia Laporte, Sossor Cand\u00e8ze, and Rostricephalus. Based on our results, we place these genera to Lissominae: Protelaterini, and hence synonymize Senodoniini Schenkling with Protelaterini Schwarz.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/insects10080231","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,1]],"date-time":"2019-08-01T11:39:37Z","timestamp":1564659577000},"page":"231","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Congruence Between Molecular Data and Morphology: Phylogenetic Position of Senodoniini (Coleoptera: Elateridae)"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9397-1030","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Robin","family":"Kundrata","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Zoology, Faculty of Science, Palacky University, 17. listopadu 50, 771 46 Olomouc, Czech Republic"}]},{"given":"Alexander S.","family":"Prosvirov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Entomology, Faculty of Biology, Moscow State University, Leninskie gory 1\/12, 119234 Moscow, Russia"}]},{"given":"Dominik","family":"Vondracek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Entomology, National Museum, Cirkusov\u00e1 1740, 193 00 Praha 9\u2014Horn\u00ed Po\u010dernice, Czech Republic"}]},{"given":"Eliska","family":"Sormova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Zoology, Faculty of Science, Palacky University, 17. listopadu 50, 771 46 Olomouc, Czech Republic"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Leschen, R.A.B., Beutel, R.G., and Lawrence, J.F.
