The supposed ancestors of the Sternorrhyncha are among the members of the suborder Paleorrhyncha. Where to search for Sternorrhyncha ancestors? Paleorrhyncha This group is a paraphyletic assemblage, ranging from the late Carboniferous (300 mya) to late Permian (270 mya). • smaller size • homonomic venation of forewings and hind wings • antennae 10-segmented with rhinaria • probably gall-making • trophic relationships with seed ferns and early gymnosperms Paleorrhyncha display several morphological specializations, e.g. variously formed ovipositors from short needle-like to very long, and forming a coil under the body. Also the placement of the rostrum base is variable. On the other hand, they show some sternorrhynchous characters, i.e. smaller size, antennae with rhinaria, and relatively simple venation. Rasnitsyn & Quicke (2002) The fossil record of the Sternorrhyncha stretches back to the Permian (270 mya); most of the fossil sites are distributed in the northern hemisphere; and only a few sites are located in the southern hemisphere. Where to search for sternorrhynchan ancestors? Sternorrhyncha • Earliest Sternorrhyncha are closely related to the Paleorrhyncha (ancestral or sister-group relationship to be revealed) • According to the fossil record, the lineage Pincombeomorpha + Aphidomorpha separated earlier than Psylloidea + Aleyrodoidea • exclusively plant sap-feeders (phloem feeders) • underwent morphological and behavioral differentiation in the Permian • have the first major radiation in the Triassic (250−200 mya) • the second in the Late Cretaceous (100−65 mya) What constitutes a sternorrhynchan insect ? First separation of Sternorrhyncha took place in the Permian (250 mya), when the infraorders Pincombeomorpha and Aphidomorpha appeared. Pincombeomorpha, with three families occur in the Permian to the Late Triassic (about 270−200 mya). Rasnitsyn & Quicke (2002) Pincombeomorpha Their characters are the forewing with the radius posterior vein (RP) originating well before the pterostigma, convex up to the nodal line and concave beyond it; nodal line crossing RP near base; median vein (M) and cubitus anterior vein (CuA) forming a short common stalk; claval vein(s) remote from posterior margin. Pincombea sp. Simulaphis shaposhnikovi Shcherbakov, 2007 Upper Permian, Australia Upper Permian, Australia During the Permian (300-250 mya), Pincombeomorpha were present in both hemispheres, but from the Triassic they are only known from the northern hemisphere. Pincombeidae (Permian-Triassic) Simulaphididae (Permian) Boreoscytidae (Permian) Evolutionary histories of each extant sternorrhynchan lineage – aphids, coccids, psyllids and whiteflies are far from complete. They are rarely fossilized because they have small and delicate bodies, and the known fossils are preserved mostly in Cretaceous and Cenozoic ambers. Next part I will briefly introduce the history of these lineages. The early evolution of aphids (Aphidomorpha) Aphidomorpha occurs in the Permian, is represented by one species.

The neococcoids form a mono- phyletic group supported by both morphological and genetic data. In contrast, the monophyly of the archaeococcoids is uncertain and the higher level ranks within it have been controversial, particularly since the late Professor Jan Koteja introduced his multi-family classification for scale insects in 1974. Recent phylogenetic studies using molecular and morphological data support the recognition of up to 15 extant families of archaeococcoids, including 11 families for the former Margarodidae sensu lato, vindicating Koteja’s views. Archaeococcoids are represented better in the fossil record than neococcoids, and have an adequate record through the Tertiary and Cretaceous but almost no putative coccoid fos- sils are known from earlier.

They form a monophyletic group within the suborder Sternorrhyncha, having one-segmented tarsi and a single claw (all other hemipterans have a double claw). They show extreme sexual dimorphism: the more-or-less sessile adult females are wingless and larviform, whereas the motile adult males mostly are winged and lack mouthparts. Within the Coccomorpha, 54 families are currently recognised, of which 20 are known only from fossils and 34 are extant (García Morales et al. 2016). Scale insects are small (adult females are mostly 0.01–2.0 cm long) and live mainly in crevices or on the undersides of plant structures, feeding on plant sap. Some members of the infraorder are extremely important economically and can attack any part of a plant, injecting toxic saliva as they feed, and sometimes spreading plant virus diseases. The resulting sap depletion initially causes wilting, reducing photosynthesis, and can lead to the death of plant tissues and eventually to death of the host plant.

  • Diverse New Scale Insects (Hemiptera, Coccoidea) in Amber
    AMERICAN MUSEUM NOVITATES Number 3823, 80 pp. January 16, 2015 Diverse new scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccoidea) in amber from the Cretaceous and Eocene with a phylogenetic framework for fossil Coccoidea ISABELLE M. VEA1'2 AND DAVID A. GRIMALDI2 ABSTRACT Coccoids are abundant and diverse in most amber deposits around the world, but largely as macropterous males. Based on a study of male coccoids in Lebanese amber (Early Cretaceous), Burmese amber (Albian-Cenomanian), Cambay amber from western India (Early Eocene), and Baltic amber (mid-Eocene), 16 new species, 11 new genera, and three new families are added to the coccoid fossil record: Apticoccidae, n. fam., based on Apticoccus Koteja and Azar, and includ¬ ing two new species A.fortis, n. sp., and A. longitenuis, n. sp.; the monotypic family Hodgsonicoc- cidae, n. fam., including Hodgsonicoccus patefactus, n. gen., n. sp.; Kozariidae, n. fam., including Kozarius achronus, n. gen., n. sp., and K. perpetuus, n. sp.; the first occurrence of a Coccidae in Burmese amber, Rosahendersonia prisca, n. gen., n. sp.; the first fossil record of a Margarodidae sensu stricto, Heteromargarodes hukamsinghi, n. sp.; a peculiar Diaspididae in Indian amber, Nor- markicoccus cambayae, n. gen., n. sp.; a Pityococcidae from Baltic amber, Pityococcus monilifor- malis, n. sp., two Pseudococcidae in Lebanese and Burmese ambers, Williamsicoccus megalops, n. gen., n. sp., and Gilderius eukrinops, n. gen., n. sp.; an Early Cretaceous Weitschatidae, Pseudo- weitschatus audebertis, n. gen., n. sp.; four genera considered incertae sedis, Alacrena peculiaris, n. gen., n. sp., Magnilens glaesaria, n. gen., n. sp., and Pedicellicoccus marginatus, n. gen., n. sp., and Xiphos vani, n.

  • HOST PLANTS of SOME STERNORRHYNCHA (Phytophthires) in NETHERLANDS NEW GUINEA (Homoptera)
    Pacific Insects 4 (1) : 119-120 January 31, 1962 HOST PLANTS OF SOME STERNORRHYNCHA (Phytophthires) IN NETHERLANDS NEW GUINEA (Homoptera) By R. T. Simon Thomas DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC AFFAIRS, HOLLANDIA In this paper, I list 15 hostplants of some Phytophthires of Netherlands New Guinea. Families, genera within the families and species within the genera are mentioned in alpha­ betical order. The genera and the specific names of the insects are printed in bold-face type, those of the plants are in italics. The locality, where the insects were found, is printed after the host plants. Then follows the date of collection and finally the name of the collector1 in parentheses. I want to acknowledge my great appreciation for the identification of the Aphididae to Mr. D. Hille Ris Lambers and of the Coccoidea to Dr. A. Reyne. Aphididae Cerataphis variabilis Hrl. Cocos nucifera Linn.: Koor, near Sorong, 26-VII-1961 (S. Th.). Longiunguis sacchari Zehntner.

  • Bacterial Associates of Orthezia Urticae, Matsucoccus Pini, And
    Protoplasma https://doi.org/10.1007/s00709-019-01377-z ORIGINAL ARTICLE Bacterial associates of Orthezia urticae, Matsucoccus pini, and Steingelia gorodetskia - scale insects of archaeoccoid families Ortheziidae, Matsucoccidae, and Steingeliidae (Hemiptera, Coccomorpha) Katarzyna Michalik1 & Teresa Szklarzewicz1 & Małgorzata Kalandyk-Kołodziejczyk2 & Anna Michalik1 Received: 1 February 2019 /Accepted: 2 April 2019 # The Author(s) 2019 Abstract The biological nature, ultrastructure, distribution, and mode of transmission between generations of the microorganisms associ- ated with three species (Orthezia urticae, Matsucoccus pini, Steingelia gorodetskia) of primitive families (archaeococcoids = Orthezioidea) of scale insects were investigated by means of microscopic and molecular methods. In all the specimens of Orthezia urticae and Matsucoccus pini examined, bacteria Wolbachia were identified. In some examined specimens of O. urticae,apartfromWolbachia,bacteriaSodalis were detected. In Steingelia gorodetskia, the bacteria of the genus Sphingomonas were found. In contrast to most plant sap-sucking hemipterans, the bacterial associates of O. urticae, M. pini, and S. gorodetskia are not harbored in specialized bacteriocytes, but are dispersed in the cells of different organs. Ultrastructural observations have shown that bacteria Wolbachia in O. urticae and M. pini, Sodalis in O. urticae, and Sphingomonas in S. gorodetskia are transovarially transmitted from mother to progeny.
