Abstract
A preliminary phylogenetic analysis of the Pseudophyllidea, based on the 16 type-genera of putative families, indicates that a division into two subor ders is reasonable. The subordinal grouping are, on the whole, congruent wi th those suggested by earlier workers, but the positions of three genera, H exagonoporus, Cephalochlamys and Pambothriocephalus, are somewhat anomalous with respect to earlier work.
