Magnoliidae sensu Chase & Reveal | Grzegorz Lato | Danuta Lato |
Traditionally, this family is believed to be likely the most "primitive" among extant bees, based primarily on the similarities of their mouthparts (the unique possession among bees of a bilobed glossa) to those of Crabronidae (the putative ancestors of bees), but recent molecular studies have disproved this hypothesis, placing Melittidae (sensu lato) as the basal group of bees.
Any or all of Euphlyctis, Hoplobatrachus, Nannophrys and Sphaerotheca are closer relatives of some species included in Feyervarya sensu lato than the latter are to their supposed congeners.
Hedyotis was formerly defined very broadly by some authors, and included species now placed in Oldenlandia, Oldenlandiopsis, Houstonia, Kadua, and other genera.
Pteridophytes or Pteridophyta, in the broad interpretation of the term (or sensu lato), are vascular plants (plants with xylem and phloem) that reproduce and disperse via spores.
