Molecular phylogenetic works have improved our understanding of the evolutionary history of the megadiverse <i>Hydraena</i>, <i>Limnebius</i> and <i>Ochthebius</i> in recent years, but most genera in the family have not yet been included in any phylogenetic analyses, particularly most of those which are restricted to the Southern Hemisphere. Using a multimarker molecular matrix, sampling over 40% of described species richness and 75% of currently recognized genera, we infer a comprehensive molecular phylogeny of these predominantly Gondwanan Hydraenidae. Whilst the genera we focus on are morphologically diverse, and currently classified across all four hydraenid subfamilies, our phylogenetic analyses suggest that these Gondwanan genera may instead constitute a single clade. As a result of our findings, the African genus <i>Oomtelecopon</i> Perkins <b>syn.n.</b> is shown to nest within <i>Coelometopon</i> Janssens, the New Zealand <i>Homalaena</i> Ordish <b>syn.n.</b> and <i>Podaena</i> Ordish <b>syn.n.</b> are synonymised with <i>Orchymontia</i> Broun, and the South African <i>Pterosthetops</i> Perkins <b>syn.n.</b> is synonymised with <i>Prosthetops</i> Waterhouse, resulting in Pterosthetopini Perkins <b>syn.n.</b> being synonymised with Prosthetopini Perkins. <i>Mesoceratops</i> Bilton & Jäch <b>gen.n.</b> is erected to accommodate six former members of <i>Mesoceration</i> Janssens, which is shown to be polyphyletic.

Our Bayesian divergence times infer an origin for this ‘Gondwana group’ of genera in Africa plus Madagascar in the mid-Cretaceous and suggest that both vicariant and dispersal processes, together with extinctions, have shaped the biogeographic history of these beetles in the Southern Hemisphere during the Cretaceous, resulting in geographically conserved extant lineages.

We investigate the role of cuticular spines, a highly variable morphological defensive trait in the hyperdiverse ant genus <i>Polyrhachis</i>, on species diversification and geographic range size. Informed by key innovation theory and the escape-and-radiate hypothesis, we predicted that clades with longer spines would exhibit elevated rates of diversification and larger range sizes compared to clades with shorter spines. To address these predictions, we estimated phylogenetic relationships with a phylogenomic approach utilizing ultraconserved elements and compiled morphological and biogeographic trait databases. In contrast to the first prediction, we found no association between diversification rate and any trait (spine length, body size and range size), with the sole exception of a positive association between range size and diversification in one of three trait-based diversification analyses. However, we recovered a positive phylogenetic correlation between spine length and geographic range size, suggesting that spines promote expanded geographic range. Notably, these results were consistent across analyses using different phylogenetic inference approaches and spine trait measurement schemes. This study provides a rare investigation of the role of a defensive trait on geographic range size, and ultimately supports the hypothesis that defensive spines are a factor in increased range size in <i>Polyrhachis</i> ants.
