Based on quantitative traits, length, and structure of scoli, 18 characters from 3 thoracic and 4 abdominal segments were characterized and coded. The phylogenetic analysis using the larval scoli yielded results in conjunction with previously proposed taxonomic relationships. For instance, the eastern North American species &lt;em&gt;A. consularis&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;A. fuscosa&lt;/em&gt;, and &lt;em&gt;A. manitobensis&lt;/em&gt; were found to share a close relationship. Similarly, &lt;em&gt;A. discolor&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;A. virginiensis&lt;/em&gt;, and &lt;em&gt;A. pellucida&lt;/em&gt;, three other eastern North American species, were found to be most closely related. However, discrepencies between expected and actual results were also observed: &lt;em&gt;A. stigma&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;A. leucostygma&lt;/em&gt; fell out as sister species to all other &lt;em&gt;Anisota &lt;/em&gt;species. This disassociation of the two species from their nearest relatives is believed to be due to the longer branched scoli found on both species and the designated outgroup, &lt;em&gt;Citheronia regalis&lt;/em&gt;.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
