Molecular phylogeny of Cicindela (Sophiodela) and its allies was investigated.

Sophiodela is not related to other members of the genus Cicindela.

Sophiodela forms a well-supported clade with Cosmodela and part of Calochroa.

They diverged in the Oriental and Sino-Japanese regions in the mid Miocene.

Their brilliant coloration reflects common ancestry and habitat adaptation.
