“…Melolonthinae, Cetoniinae, Dynastinae and Rutelinae were used in the phylogenetic analysis of scarabaeidae species. Previous study reported that the subfamily of Melolonthinae was paraphyletic while Cetoniinae was more closely linked to Dynastinae and Rutelinae 52 – 54 . The present study showed that the Dynastinae formed a monophyletic group as a clade while the Cetoniinae and Rutelinae formed sister clades that established a basal split with Melolonthinae.…”

The CRB (coconut rhinoceros beetle) haplotype was classified into CRB-S and CRB-G, based on the presence of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the mitochondrial cox1 gene. Mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) are the most widely used genetic resources for molecular evolution, phylogenetics, and population genetics in relation to insects. This study presents the mitogenome CRB-G and CRB-S which were collected in Johor, Malaysia. The mitogenome of CRB-G collected from oil palm plantations in 2020 and 2021, and wild coconut palms in 2021 was 15,315 bp, 15,475 bp, and 17,275 bp, respectively. The CRB-S was discovered in coconut and oil palms in 2021, and its mitogenome was 15,484 bp and 17,142 bp, respectively. All the mitogenomes have 37 genes with more than 99% nucleotide sequence homology, except the CRB-G haplotype collected from oil palm in 2021 with 89.24% nucleotide sequence homology. The mitogenome of Johor CRBs was variable in the natural population due to its elevated mutation rate. Substitutions and indels in cox1, cox2, nad2 and atp6 genes were able to distinguish the Johor CRBs into two haplotypes. The mitogenome data generated in the present study may provide baseline information to study the infection and relationship between the two haplotypes of Johor CRB and OrNV in the field. This study is the first report on the mitogenomes of mixed haplotypes of CRB in the field.

The relationships among the Neotropical Diplotaxini and homology of revised and new taxa are revisited with parsimony analyses based on morphological characters, and probabilistic analyses based on concatenated ITS2 and COI genes. Neotropical Diplotaxini is now composed of five monophyletic genera: Pacuvia, Pachrodema, Homalochilus, Liogenys, and Careocallus gen. nov.. Pseudodiplotaxis is here transferred to incertae sedis of Melolonthinae. Careocallus is the sister genus of Liogenys and is composed of Careocallus tehuelche sp. nov. and Careocallus densicollis sp. nov. Sister phylogenetic relationship between Homalochilus and the rest of genera except Pacuvia is revealed. Homalochilussensu nov. is comprised by Homalochilus punctatostriatus and Homalochilus nigripennis sp. nov. This genus recovered its monophyly by transferring Homalochilus niger to Liogenys, as Liogenys nigercomb. nov. and this name is also synonymized with L. morio. The type species of Homalochilus is emended to be H. punctatostriatus. A neotype (Liogenys morio) and lectotypes (H. punctatostriatus, H. niger) are designated. Dichotomious key to Neotropical Diplotaxini genera and to species of Homalochilus and Careocallus are presented. Sequences and phylogenetic signals for Neotropical melolonthines are reported for the first time.
