Abstract
In this study, we present the first phylogenetic hypothesis for Platystomatidae based on morphological evidence. The matrix consisted of 194 characters, 129 terminals, five outgroups, and 124 ingroups. Based on this dataset, we conducted a phylogenetic analysis using a traditional search with the Tree Bisection and Reconnection (TBR) algorithm under implied weighting with k = 27. A tree with a length of 2437, a consistence index of 12, and a retention index of 45 was recorded. The family was recovered with three synapomorphies, and four subfamilies were identified. Trapherinae was recovered with two tribes: Trapherini and Xirini. Plastotephritinae included two tribes: Agrochirini and Plastotephritini. Scholastinae was recovered with one tribe: Scholastini. Lastly, Platystomatinae was recovered with six tribes: Rivellini, Achiini, Platystomatini, Angitulini, Lamprogastrini, and Senopterini. In addition, a classification is proposed upon the hypotheses obtained, and a new genus and new species, of Trapherinae, are described: Trapheroplatystoma Rodrigues, Carvalho & Mello gen. nov., T. cabila Rodrigues, Carvalho & Mello sp. nov. Additionally, an update key to the genera of Trapherinae is presented. Lectotype male and one paralectotype male are herein designated to the species Eopiara chrysoptera Frey, 1964.

Dataset Overview
This dataset contains the supplementary material for the morphological phylogenetic analysis of Platystomatidae. The matrix includes 129 terminal taxa (0–128) and 194 morphological characters (0–193) covering anatomical structures across multiple body regions.
Files and variables
File: SUP_1.xlsx
Description: Examined material
Variables Includes two Excel tabs:
- The first is the summary of examined material. The first column is the way the material was accessed; the second column is the museum where the material is deposited; the third column is the species; the fourth column is the author of the species;
- The second is the expanded examined material. The first column is the type of access; the second is the museum where it is deposited; the third is the specimen voucher number; the fourth and fifth columns are the species and author; The sixth column indicates the specimen type (holotype, paratype, syntype, or non-type material); columns seven through fourteen are the transcriptions of the labels; and the last column refers to the author of the specimen photograph.
- The term "null" was included in identifying empty cells. This means that the data does not exist or was not observed. For example, not all specimens have all the label columns.
File: SUP_2.xlsx
Description: Character matrix:
Variables
- Includes the completed character matrix. Each column represents a character (see SUP_4), and each row represents a terminal (see SUP_1). The symbol ‘?’ was used for taxa with unknown character states, and the symbol ‘–’ for inapplicable characters.
File: SUP_3.xlsx
Description: Sensibility test:
Variables
- This is the result of the sensitivity test to determine the value of K. For each test, the following parameters were used (seed=1, repls.=1000, tree save=100, algorithm=TBR, memory=99999).
- The first column is the value of k used in each analysis; the second column is the score obtained; the third column is the minimum length of the trees obtained; the last column is the number of trees obtained per analysis.

- Characters marked with * were modified from (Vasconcelos et al. 2021) and characters marked with ** were modified from Wendt (2012).
