Remarks: Kritsky et al. (2000) questioned the monophyly of Lamellodiscus based on the variable morphology of the sclerotized structures, which may not represent generic features, as originally proposed by Oliver (1987). In the molecular phylogeny of Desdevises (2001), Lamellodiscus spp. appear in two distinct clades and Furnestinia represents an internal taxon closely related to L. verberis and L. mormyri.

Our cladistic hypothesis was not capable to identify synapomorphies for species of Lamellodiscus, as already suggested by Kritsky et al. (2000) and Desdevises (2001), and, thus, its monophyly is rejected. Lamellodiscus furcillatus shows the most basal position among the fragment of Lamellodiscus in the tricotomy with Telegamatrix and clade “G”, while Lamellodiscus mormyri and Furnestinia appear as a sister taxa in clade “G”, supported by the presence of the accessory piece articulated with the MCO.

Despite the non-monophyly of Lamellodiscus, we decided to retain all species in the genus, without proposal of new taxonomic categories until a cladistic analysis within Lamellodiscus species is performed.
