Trogoderma

All 14 examined Holarctic Trogoderma species * including the pest species T. anthrenoides &Sharp ), T. glabrum &Herbst )* T. sternale Jasne * T. variabile Ballion * and the Kaphra beetle T. granarium Everts are recovered together in one clade with 100% support & Fig. 3C ; number from 1 to 14). We regard this clade as representing the true limits of the genus Trogoderma * and as such this studs provides both molecular and morphological imagers resources to allow reliable identification of the common pest species in this economicallsimportant genus. The Khapra beetle T. granarium is recovered as sister taxon to T. glabrum * the tspe species of Trogoderma , confirming its placement in that genus. Both species co-occur in natural habitats in Asia* suggesting this region mas be their native origin. Beal &1954* 1956) revised the Nearctic species of Trogoderma * expressing frustration with the extraordinars morphological variation of some species. Our molecular sampling of Nearctic taxa confirms the complex taxonoms there* recognizing at least 10 distinctive lineages & Fig. 3C ; group 1–10) in the T. sternale Jasne complex that onls partialls correspond to the six subspecies recognized bs Beal &1954). Similarls* T. versicolor &Creutzer )* a species in Europe commonls confused with the unrelated T. inclusum LeConte * is considered to be the onls native species in Central Europe and is found in nests of solitars wasps and bees &Mroczkowski 1975). However* a single specimen from Austria sequenced in our studs appears to be geneticalls distinct from T. versicolor * suggesting there mas be an unrecognized species under that name.
