This tree diagram shows the relationships between several groups of organisms.
The root of the current tree connects the organisms featured in this tree to their containing group and the rest of the Tree of Life. The basal branching point in the tree represents the ancestor of the other groups in the tree. This ancestor diversified over time into several descendent subgroups, which are represented as internal nodes and terminal taxa to the right.
You can click on the root to travel down the Tree of Life all the way to the root of all Life, and you can click on the names of descendent subgroups to travel up the Tree of Life all the way to individual species.

close boxIntroduction
This family is found in North America, eastern Asia, and southern Europe. It was originally described by Iwata (1927) as a subfamily of Sericostomatidae. The family was revised by Wiggins et al. (1985); several taxonomic and phylogenetic works were published subsequently (Vineyard & Wiggins 1987, 1988, Vineyard et al. 2005, Wiggins & Erman 1987, Wiggins & Wisseman 1992).
The larval diet in Uenoidae is diatoms and fine organic particles scraped from rock surfaces. Generally, larvae are found in cool, fast-flowing headwaters; however, in the genus Neophylax, some species occur in downstream warmer waters. (From Holzenthal et al., 2007)
