Resumen:
A Phylogenetic analysis using characters from egg cases, larvae, pupae
and adults was conducted; the outgroups included the families Silphidae,
Hydraenidae and Histeridae. Characters from the immature stages were obtained
mostly from material reared in the laboratory, those from the adults were
obtained from Hansens generic revision for the superfamily. The results
support the position of Hydraenidae within the Staphylinoidea, and not as part
of Hydrophiloidea; Histeroidea is proposed as the sister group of
Hydrophiloidea. At family level two clades are distinguished; the relationships
within the first clade are ((Georissidae Epimetopidae) Helophoridae), those
within the second are ((Hydrophilidae Spercheiddae) Hydrochidae). Larval
characters were most informative at the base of the tree, especially those
associated with the spiracular atrium; adult characters were most informative
at the apex of the tree.
