  1. Knutson and Vala [17] feeding group constraints were done with an abbreviated data set containing 59 terminal taxa (all Tetanocera plus 4 outgroups). Trees compared were the best topology from unconstrained analysis versus an analysis where the feeding groups (see Table 1) were constrained to be monophyletic. Tetanocera plumosa, which can either live in the water or on the shoreline was coded both ways (Aquatic2 & Shoreline2 = T. plumosa considered a shoreline snail predator). The monophyly of Anticheta + Renocera, proposed as subfamily Renocerinae by Verbeke [74], was tested by constraining them to be outside of the Tetanocerini and Sciomyzini. The Bayesian MAP tree and ML tree were tested to see if they were significantly different from one another. P-values in bold are significant. Constraints with an asterisk (*) were constrained trees that were significantly worse than the unconstrained tree in all statistical tests.
