“…Although a structure that is homologous to the spermatheca in other Hemiptera is present in most Cimicomorpha, this structure does not store sperm (see summary in Schuh and Štys, ), and secondary sperm storage organs have evolved in different lineages, e.g., lateral pseudospermathecae in Reduvioidea and independently in Tingidae. This diverse morphological landscape is further complicated by multiple origins of traumatic insemination, in the Cimicoidea (Carayon, , ), the Nabidae (Carayon, , ) and the Miridae (Tatarnic et al., ; Tatarnic and Cassis, ), and male genital asymmetry. Nonetheless, many analyses, including our likelihood analyses, treat Cimicomorpha as a monophyletic group.…”

Heteroptera, the true bugs, are part of the largest clade of non-holometabolous insects, the Hemiptera, and include > 42 000 described species in about 90 families. Despite progress in resolving phylogenetic relationships between and within infraorders since the first combined morphological and molecular analysis published in 1993 (29 taxa, 669 bp, 31 morphological characters), recent hypotheses have relied entirely on molecular data. Weakly supported nodes along the backbone of Heteroptera made these published phylogenies unsuitable for investigations into the evolution of habitats and lifestyles across true bugs. Here we present the first combined morphological and molecular analyses of Heteroptera since 1993, using 135 taxa in 60 families, 4018 aligned bp of ribosomal DNA and 81 morphological characters, and various analytical approaches. The sister-group relationship of the predominantly aquatic Nepomorpha with all remaining Heteroptera is supported in all analyses, and a clade formed by Enicocephalomorpha, Dipsocoromorpha and Gerromorpha in some. All analyses recover Leptopodomorpha + (Cimicomorpha + Pentatomomorpha), mostly with high support. Parsimony-and likelihood-based ancestral state reconstructions of habitats and lifestyles on the combined likelihood phylogeny provide new insights into the evolution of true bugs. The results indicate that aquatic and semi-aquatic true bugs invaded these habitats three times independently from terrestrial habitats in contrast to a recent hypothesis. They further suggest that the most recent common ancestor of Heteroptera was predacious, and that the two large predominantly phytophagous clades (Trichophora and Miroidea) are likely to have derived independently from predatory ancestors. We conclude that by combining morphological and molecular data and employing various analytical methods our analyses have converged on a relatively well-supported hypothesis of heteropteran infraordinal relationships that now requires further testing using phylogenomic and more extensive morphological datasets.

“…This species was found on the underside of Nephrolepis hirsutula fronds, and both sexes and a nymph were collected, which supports this fern species being recognized as a breeding host. The fern was found in mostly a disturbed clearing beneath and near Metrosideros, from which Coridromius taravao Tatarnic and Cassis and C. tahitiensis Tatarnic and Cassis were collected (Tatarnic and Cassis 2013).…”
