For phylogenetic inferences, maximum parsimony (MP), maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian MCMC analyses were performed. The resultant trees are very similar and nearly concordant with the traditional classification based on morphological characters. Our results suggest that the Tachinidae are monophyletic and sister to the Sarcophagidae. The tribal relationships within Exoristinae are in part supported with high reliabilities and are similar to those inferred by Stireman (2002). Based on the resultant trees, the phylogenetic relationships and possible synapomorphies were investigated. Further, we evaluated the transformation of female reproductive habits in the Exoristinae, finding support for the hypothesis that ovolarviparity evolved independently from oviparity in several clades and obtaining differing results about the evolutionary history of micro-ovolarviparity depending on character optimization.} }
