Based on cladistics analysis, including a wide representation of morphological and geographical taxon sampling, we concluded that Aspidimorphini should be part of Cassidini. The tree topology from implied weights is a basis for further studies aiming to produce a natural classification. Our results show that there is no congruence between the geographic distribution and the morphology among Cassidini.
