“…Lozier et al (2008) conducted a systematic study of Hyalopterus and described a new species Hyalopetrus persikonus Miller, Lozier & Foottit based on samples from Europe. Then, Favret et al (2017) performed a synonymic revision of the nominal species of Hyalopterus , and Hyalopterus persikonus was considered as a synonym of H. arundiniformis . Yet the studies on the species composition of Hyalopterus from China have been limited to early morphology‐based research.…”

“…Hyalopterus is morphologically characterized by an elongated shape, antennae shorter than the body, and siphunculi shorter than cauda without flange and rounded at apex (Zhang & Zhong, 1983). Numerous researchers have focused on the taxonomy of this group over the last century (Eastop, 1966;Favret, Meshram, Miller, Nieto Nafria, & Stekolshchikov, 2017;Lozier et al, 2008;Moreno-Gonzalez & Nieto Nafria, 2018;Poultos et al, 2007;Rakauskas et al, 2013;Smith, 1936). Recent revisionary attempts to resolve the species boundaries within Hyalopterus have made progress partly as a result of the rapid introduction and spread of the invasive species H. pruni across North America (Lozier, Roderick, & Mills, 2009), as well as from a general interest in speciation mechanisms, host-associated gene expression and so on (Cui, Yang, Guo, Kang, & Cui, 2017;Lozier et al, 2007).…”

One of the most essential goals of evolutionary biology is understanding the processes that contribute to reproductive isolation and promote speciation (Carstens & Dewey, 2010; Jousselin et al., 2013), which, in turn, rests on accurate species delimitation and robust phylogenetic frameworks. Indeed, delimiting species is of paramount importance to various disciplines of biodiversity research and practices of biodiversity conservation (Carstens,

“…Hyalopterus arundiniformis Ghulamullah (HAR) (Aphididae: Aphidinae) is widely distributed across Eurasia (Liu et al, 2020) and has been considered a serious pest that inflicts severe damage on agriculturally important fruit peach ( Prunus persica ; Blackman & Eastop, 2020; Favret et al, 2017; Lozier et al, 2008). The species is heteroecious and holocyclic, mainly utilizing peach as the primary host for sexual generation and migrating to reeds ( Phragmites ) as the summer (secondary) hosts for asexual reproduction (Blackman & Eastop, 2020).…”

Aim: Pleistocene climatic fluctuations have been identified as a dominant factor in evolutionary and ecological processes underlying contemporary species distribution.In contrast, anthropogenic activity during the Holocene has been largely neglected in phylogeographic inference. Here, by integrating archaeological evidence, phylogeographic analyses and a climatic niche-based approach, the role of Holocene human activity in determining the evolutionary trajectory of insect pests is investigated using Hyalopterus arundiniformis (HAR) as a model. Location: Eurasia. Methods:We compiled archaeological records and historical data for the host plant (i.e. peach) of HAR. Phylogeographic structure, genetic diversity and gene flow were estimated. Historical demographic dynamics were explored using coalescentbased analyses. The origin and dispersal history were assessed using an approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) approach. The changes in climatic niche breadth during geographic expansion were evaluated via niche comparison analyses. Results: Our results revealed that HAR originated in Southwest China and dispersed to Southeast and Northwest China, and it was then introduced to western Eurasia from Northwest China. The climatic niche shifted significantly with range expansions, and niche expansion explained the largest proportion of niche dynamics. Population size expansion occurred in the Holocene and coincided with the domestication and trans-Eurasian trade of peach. Main conclusions: The geographic range, effective population size and climatic niche breadth of HAR expanded following the human-mediated dispersal of its host plant during the Holocene. Our results highlight that the expansion of Neolithic agriculture and trans-Eurasian crop exchange along ancient communication routes may have played an important role in shaping the distribution and demographic dynamics of herbivorous insects. This study also provides essential information for pest management and biological invasions.

“…They form colonies on the lower leaf surface, on twigs and even on branches, where they feed on phloem, causing premature leaf drop, retarded tree growth, and fewer and smaller fruits. Hyalopterus is a cosmopolitan genus, Mediterranean in origin, with only three recognized species Hyalopterus pruni (Geoffroy 1762), Hyalopterus amygdali (Blanchard 1840), and Hyalopterus arundiniformis (Ghulamullah 1941) (Aphidinae: Aphidini: Rhopalosiphina) (Lozier et al 2007, Rakauskas et al 2013, Favret et al 2017 Eastop 1994, 2000;Lozier et al 2008a), which occupies 8.5 thousand hectares. Screening of Hyalopterus for facultative symbionts rendered negative results , Tsuchida et al 2005) except in one study (Henry et al 2015), where a few individuals were found to be infected by H. defensa.…”

Aphids (Hemiptera: Aphididae) can harbor two types of bacterial symbionts. In addition to the obligate endosymbiont Buchnera aphidicola Munson, Baumann and Kinsey 1991 (Enterobacteriales: Enterobacteriaceae), several facultative symbiotic bacteria, called secondary (S) symbionts, have been identified among many important pest aphid species. To determine interpopulational diversity of S-symbionts, we carried out a survey in a total of 18 populations of six aphid species collected from six localities in Tunisia, by performing a diagnostic polymerase chain reaction analysis of partial 16S-23S rRNA operon sequences. While 61.7% of individuals contained only Buchnera, three S-symbionts were found at different frequencies. Arsenophonus sp. Gherna et al. 1991 (Enterobacteriales: Enterobacteriaceae) was found in all species under study except for Acyrtosiphon pisum (Harris 1776) (Aphidinae: Macrosiphini); Serratia symbiotica Moran et al. 2005 (Enterobacteriales: Enterobacteriaceae) was present in all analyzed individuals of A. pisum but only sporadically in Aphis spiraecola (Patch 1914) (Aphidinae: Aphidini) and Hyalopterus amygdali (Blanchard 1840) (Aphidinae: Aphidini), while Hamiltonella defensa Moran et al. 2005 (Enterobacteriales: Enterobacteriaceae) was found in all analyzed individuals of one population of Aphis gossypii (Glover 1877) (Aphidinae: Aphidini) and sporadically in two populations of Hyalopterus. The lysogenic bacteriophage APSE-1 (A. pisum secondary endosymbiont, type 1) was detected in the three populations infected with H. defensa. This bacteriophage has been associated with moderate protection against braconid parasitoids in pea aphids. The high prevalence of Arsenophonus sp. in our samples is in accordance with previous studies indicating that, among gammaproteobacteria, this genus is one of the most widespread insect facultative symbionts.
