In some instances it is fairly easy to determine whether characters are
homologous by their anatomical design ; the " beak ” of a biting fly is not
homologous to that of a true bug , for the relations of the labrum , mandibles ,
maxillae , and labium ...

such homoplasious character states can lead us to mistakenly combine species
into the wrong groups . But such homoplasious characters ( including those that
undergo evolutionary reversal ) do not agree with the true phylogeny , whereas ...
