	abstract = {Classification of the higher taxa of Pipunculidae is analysed by cladistic techniques. Twenty-five taxa are considered, with 117 character states being examined. Three subfamilies are recognized: Chalarinae; Nephrocerinae; and Pipunculinae. The subfamily Pipunculinae is divided into 5 tribes, including 3 new tribes. Monophyletic genus groups within these tribes and 23 genera are recognized.Abstract 2: Classification of the higher taxa of the Pipunculidae is analysed by cladistic techniques. Twenty-five taxa are studied, and 117 character states are examined for these taxa. Based on the cladistic analysis a classification is proposed, recognizing three subfamilies: Chalarinae, Nephrocerinae, and Pipunculinae. The subfamily Pipunculinae is separated into five tribes: Pipunculini, CEPHALOPSINI trib. nov; MICROCEPHALOPSINI trib. nov., EUDORYLINI trib. nov., and Tomosvaryellini. Monophyletic genus groups within these tribes are recognized. The position of Claraeosphaera is unclear. Twenty-three taxa of generic status are recognized, and Wittella is considered synonymous with Cephalops. The genus Collinias is revalidated. Claraeomorpha is retained as a subgenus of Dorylomorpha. A presumed phylogenetic history of the taxa and evolutionary transformation series for certain characters are extrapolated from the analysis.},
