The final sequence alignment of 46 species of Aphalaridae and two outgroups contained 1043 characters. As both Bayesian inference (BI) and maximum likelihood (ML) analysis yielded very similar results, only the phylogenetic tree from the BI is shown in Figure 4 in the main text, while the ML tree is included as a Supplementary File (Figure S 1). In both analyses, support for monophyly of Aphalaridae was weak or virtually absent (0.52 PP, 24 % BS). The subfamily Aphalarinae was strongly supported in both BI and ML analyses (1.00 PP, 95 % BS). Aphalara was recovered as paraphyletic (0.89 PP, 66 % BS), with Aph. itadori forming the sister taxon to the remaining Aphalara and Craspedolepta. The internal relationships of Aphalara were well supported in BI (0.94 – 1.00 PP) and ML analyses (92 – 99 % BS), with the exception of Aph. itadori (66 % BS) and Aph. maculipennis (74 % BS). Craspedolepta was a strongly supported clade in both BI and ML analyses (1.00 PP, 96 % BS). Four clades were strongly supported within the genus: Cr. omissa + (Cr. nervosa + Cr. pontica) (1.00 PP, 97 % BS); Cr. nervosa + Cr. pontica (1.00 PP, 98 % BS); Cr. nebulosa + Cr. subpunctata (1.00 PP, 96 % BS); and Cr. bulgarica + Cr. innoxia (1.00 PP, 100 % BS). The support for monophyly of Rhinocolinae was weak in the ML analysis (72 % BS) but strong in the BI (0.97 PP). Agonoscena was strongly supported in both analyses (1.00 PP, 90 % BS), while support for the other genera was moderate to weak. A sister group relationship between Phacopteroninae, represented only by Pseudophacopteron sp., and Aphalarinae was moderately supported (0.93 PP, 85 % BS). The phylogenies of the two analyses also shared the same topology in terms of the strongly supported Spondyliaspidinae (1.00 PP, 97 % BS) with a strongly supported clade Blastopsylla occidentalis Taylor, 1985 + Platyobria sp. (1.00 PP, 96 % BS). The other nodes of the clade Spondyliaspidinae were weakly to moderately supported in the ML analysis. In the BI, Anoeconeossa unicornuta was strongly supported (0.99 PP) as a sister species to the clade Boreioglycaspis melaleucae + Glycaspis brimblecombei (1.00 PP). Lasiopsylla rotundipennis, Australopsylla sp., and Creiis sp. together constituted, with strong support (0.98 PP), the sister clade to Cardiaspina retator. 3.3. Faunistic Data The following five species represent new records for Bulgaria: Agonoscena targionii, Aphalara affinis, Colposcenia aliena, Co. bidentata and Craspedolepta malachitica. Craspedolepta conspersa is reported for the first time from the Czech Republic, while Agonoscena cisti is reported for the first time from Albania (Table 1).	en	Pramatarova, Monika, Burckhardt, Daniel, Malenovský, Igor, Gjonov, Ilia, Schuler, Hannes, Štarhová Serbina, Liliya (2024): Unravelling the Molecular Identity of Bulgarian Jumping Plant Lice of the Family Aphalaridae (Hemiptera: Psylloidea).
