“…Molecular-based approaches have demonstrated great potentials for accurately delimiting species, recognizing cryptic species and detecting host-specific lineages for aphids (Beji et al, 2015;Chen, Jiang, Chen, & Qiao, 2016;Cocuzza & Cavalieri, 2014;Foottit et al, 2008Foottit et al, , 2009Kinyanjui et al, 2016;Lee, Lee, Lee, & Kim, 2015;Li et al, 2020;Rebijith et al, 2013;Wang et al, 2011Wang et al, , 2013Wang & Qiao, 2009;Wen et al, 2013;Zhu et al, 2017). However, most studies limited the species delimitation methods to thresholdbased and/or single-gene approaches.…”
