The establishment of invasive species populations can threaten the ecological balance in naive habitats and impact agricultural production practices. The old-world bollworm (OWBW),Helicoverpa armigera, and the corn earworm (CEW),H. zea, were geographically separated prior to the 2013 report of OWBW invasion into South America. Introgression of OWBW-specific cytochrome P450 337B3 (CYP337B3) gene into CEW was repeatedly detected across South America and the Caribbean. Two hybrids were documented among samples collected in Texas during 2019. In this study, screening insects collected in Olathe, Colorado, USA where a failure of pyrethroids to control CEW damage to conventional sweetcorn in 2023, detected 28.59% insects with the OWBW-specific CYP337B3 marker. Nucleotide sequencing of CYP337B3 gene identified 73.05 and 26.95% insects homozygous for CYP337B3v2 and CYP337B3v6 alleles, respectively. Based on prior data for distinct phylogeographic origins of CYP337B3v2 and v6 alleles, our results indicate Olathe samples were derived from two different introductions. Specifically, a novel origin based on restricted distribution of v6 allele to Ghana in West Arica, and possible South American or Caribbean origin of the v2 allele. One of the 1618 individuals screened also carried a ribosomal RNA internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) derived from OWBW. Local selection pressures at the Olathe location imposed by repeated pyrethroid exposures are likely attributed to the prevalence of CYP337B3, where control practices hasten the accumulation of phenotypic resistance by adaptive introgression. Pyrethroid and other resistance factors carried by invasive OWBW may continue to impact CEW management tactics for across the Americas.
