Hemiptera is the largest order in Paraneoptera and the fifth largest in Insecta. Disputes about hemipteran phylogeny have concerned the monophyly of Auchenorrhyncha and relationships between the suborders Fulgoromorpha, Cicado- morpha, Coleorrhyncha and Heteroptera. In a phylogenomic study of Hemiptera, we add two new mitochondrial genomes of Peloridiidae (Coleorrhyncha) to those reported in GenBank, to complete the taxon sampling of all suborders. We used two types of data – amino acid sequences and nucleotides of various combinations between protein coding genes, tRNAs and rRNAs – to infer the phylogeny of Hemiptera. In total 27 taxa of Paraneoptera were sampled, 24 of them being hemipterans. Bayesian infer- ence, maximum likelihood and maximum parsimony analyses were employed. The relationship of Cicadomorpha + Heteroptera is always stable in the results with dif- ferent combinations between data types and phylogenetic methods, but our results challenge the monophyly of ‘Homoptera’ and Auchenorrhyncha. In evaluating the rel- ative contribution of each gene, the phylograms generated by single genes CO1, ND1, ND2, ND4 and ND5, respectively, closely matched the tree yielded by the combined datasets. In light of the taxon-sampling sensitivity of trees based on mitochondrial genomes, the results need to be tested with further data from nuclear genes. Introduction accepted since the 1960s to the present (Hennig, 1969; Carver et al., 1991; Kristensen, 1991; Yoshizawa & Saigusa, 2001).

Restricted distribution, small individual (1929), are small bugs with a crptic lifestyle. They possess size and secluded lifestyle may all make it hard to provide a mixture of cicadomorphan and bug-like characters (Bechly complete mitogenomic sequences for Coleorrhyncha.

This suborder includes a single extant family, phylogenomic sampling of Hemiptera are incomplete. Here we Peloridiidae, which is distributed now only in Patagonia included two mitogenomes of Coleorrhyncha and reconstructed and the Australian continent (Burckhardt et al., 2011). Its the higher-level phylogenomic relationships of Hemiptera with complete subordinal sampling for the first time. phylogenetic position within Hemiptera has long fascinated hemipterists. Peloridiids were placed first in Heteroptera (Breddin, 1897), but transferred to a suborder of their own Materials and methods (China, 1924) or included in the ‘Homoptera’ (Myers & China, 1929; China, 1962; Evans, 1963). Peloridiidae and Heteroptera Taxon sampling were treated as sister groups by Schlee (1969) but Cobben (1978) considered Schlee’s synapomorphies as superficial. Twenty-seven taxa were sampled in this study. Twenty- Although the close relationship between Peloridiidae and four of these were ingroups, which included all five suborders Heteroptera has been supported consistently by nuclear rDNAs of Hemiptera. Among them, the mitogenomes of Xenophyes (Campbell et al., 1995; Sorensen et al., 1995; Ouvrard et al., cascus Bergroth and Hackeriella veitchi (Hacker) are reported 2000; Xie et al., 2008; Cryan & Urban, 2012), controversies here for the first time.
