“…The inconsistent supergroup allocation of alleles indicated that these genes had undergone independent evolutionary trajectories (Figure 5 ). This has also been observed in rice planthoppers (Zhang et al., 2013 ), spiders (Yang et al., 2021 ), parasitic wasps (Shaikevich & Romanov, 2023 ), fruit flies (Singh, 2019 ), moths and butterflies (Ilinsky & Kosterin, 2017 ).…”

Wolbachia, one of the most ubiquitous heritable symbionts in lepidopteran insects, can cause mitochondrial introgression in related host species. We recently found mito‐nuclear discordance in the Lepidopteran tribe Tagiadini Mabille 1878 from which Wolbachia has not been reported. In this study, we found that 13 of the 46 species of Tagiadini species tested were positive for Wolbachia. Overall, 14% (15/110) of Tagiadini specimens were infected with Wolbachia and nine new STs were found from 15 isolates. A co‐phylogenetic comparison, divergence time estimation and Wolbachia recombination analysis revealed that mito‐nuclear discordance in Tagiadini species is not mediated by Wolbachia, but Wolbachia acquisition in Tagiadini appears to have occurred mainly through horizontal transmission rather than codivergence.
