“…Several studies have considered the impact of cryptic species on pest management (Frewin et al 2014;Ovalle et al 2014), biological control strategies (Derocles et al 2015), the detection of invasive species (Blacket et al 2015;Li et al 2015), and quarantine inspections (Kang et al 2015). The most obvious implications of DNA barcoding relate to its capacity to discriminate the members of cryptic species complexes (Robe et al 2013). Systems that employ sequence matches to identify specimens are already a reality (MacLeod et al 2010), allowing the automated detection of regulated species (Lammers et al 2014).…”

Many of the arthropod species that are important pests of agriculture and forestry are impossible to discriminate morphologically throughout all of their life stages. Some cannot be differentiated at any life stage. Over the past decade, DNA barcoding has gained increasing adoption as a tool to both identify known species and to reveal cryptic taxa. Although there has not been a focused effort to develop a barcode library for them, reference sequences are now available for 77% of the 409 species of arthropods documented on major pest databases. Aside from developing the reference library needed to guide specimen identifications, past barcode studies have revealed that a significant fraction of arthropod pests are a complex of allied taxa. Because of their importance as pests and disease vectors impacting global agriculture and forestry, DNA barcode results on these arthropods have significant implications for quarantine detection, regulation, and management. The current review discusses these implications in light of the presence of cryptic species in plant pests exposed by DNA barcoding.Key words: species identification, cryptic taxa, invasive species, quarantine, pest management.Résumé : Plusieurs des espèces d'arthropodes qui constituent d'importants ravageurs en agriculture en foresterie sont impossibles à distinguer sur la base morphologique au cours de certains stades de vie. Il est impossible d'en distinguer certains à tous les stades. Au cours de la dernière décennie, l'adoption du codage à barres de l'ADN s'est accrue tant pour l'identification des espèces connues que cryptiques. Bien qu'il n'y ait pas eu d'effort visant à développer une banque de références pour ces espèces, des séquences de référence sont présentement disponibles pour 77 % des 409 espèces d'arthropodes cataloguées parmi les bases de données de ravageurs importants. Outre le développement de la banque de références nécessaire à l'identification des spécimens, les études antérieures ont révélé qu'une portion significative des arthropodes nuisibles sont composés d'un ensemble de taxons apparentés. En raison de leur importance en tant que ravageurs ou vecteurs de maladies ayant un impact global en agriculture et en foresterie, les résultats du codage à barres de ces arthropodes ont des implications importantes en matière de détection, de réglementation et de gestion de quarantaines. Dans cette synthèse, les auteurs discutent des implications à la lumière de la présence d'espèces cryptiques, au sein de ravageurs de plantes, mises au jour grâce au codage à barres de l'ADN.

“…Such populations were originally infected at low frequency (0 to 20%) by w Au, a non‐CI‐inducing strain that suddenly was displaced by a CI‐inducing strain ( w Ri), which infected populations at high frequencies (80 to 100%). D. incompta is a fly that uses only flowers of bush species from the Cestrum genus as development and feeding sites (for a review, see Robe et al ., ). In the present study, samples obtained from two populations (Curitiba and Santa Maria, 660 km apart) were sequenced and displayed nearly identical sequences, indicating that this endosymbiont is widely distributed in this species.…”

Wolbachia are intracellular endosymbionts that infect arthropods and filarial nematodes, occasionally causing a wide variety of modifications in host biology, such as male-killing and cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI), amongst others. This study assembled draft genomes for Wolbachia infecting Drosophila incompta, a species that uses flowers as exclusive breeding and feeding sites, in two distinct Brazilian populations. The absence of four genes involved in CI from this genome, together with literature reports of low frequencies of infected flies in wild populations that contain high mitogenome polymorphism, suggests that this bacterium does not induce CI in D. incompta. Phylogenomic analysis placed Wolbachia infecting D. incompta as closely related to the wMel strain which received such name since it was originally detected in Drosophila melanogaster. In addition, phylogenetic analysis using the Wolbachia surface protein gene and five genes used for multilocus sequence typing of Wolbachia found infecting Drosophila and other arthropod species of Old and New World displayed a complex evolutionary scenario involving recent horizontal transfer bursts in all major clades of Wolbachia pipens belonging to the supergroup A in both geographical regions.

“…The D. flavopilosa species group have a restricted larval ecology as the females use flowers in the Solanaceae as their only sites for oviposition. Larvae develop feed in these flowers in South America (Robe et al 2013). The Central American species may use flowers from other plant families for larval development (Ludwing et al 2002).…”

“…Flies in the species groups D. bromeliae Sturtevant (1921); D. flavopilosa Frey (1919); D. onychophora Vilela & Bächli (1990) and D. morelia develop exclusively in flowers (Figuero et al 2011). Robe et al (2013) listed 17 species in their last revision of the D. flavopilosa species group. However, they did not include D. gilva which it was included in this group by Wheeler et al, (1962).…”

“…However, they did not include D. gilva which it was included in this group by Wheeler et al, (1962). Robe et al (2013) also lists D. ogradi Vela & Rafael (2004) as part of the D. flavopilosa species group but Santos and Vilela (2005) considered this species as part of the Drosophila morelia species group and Figuero et al (2012) confirmed that D. ogradi is a member of the D. morelia species group.…”

Se describen e ilustran una especie del grupo Drosophila flavopilosa y otra del grupo Drosophila Morelia (Diptera: Drosophilidae). Las larvas de las moscas de estos grupos se desarrollan exclusivamente en flores y raramente se recolectan de partes de plantas en putrefacción. Sin embargo, en este caso, estas nuevas especies no se recolectaron de flores, sino que se capturaron con trozos de plátano fermentado y levadura. Lo cual, indica que esta especie puede ser atraída por los olores de la fermentación de levadura y no solo por las flores de solanáceas. Los especímenes fueron recolectados a 3362 m sobre el nivel del mar. Existen cuatro especies del grupo Drosophila flavopilosa y una especie del grupo Drosophila morelia previamente descrita en Ecuador. Las nuevas especies son: Drosophila pseudokorefae sp. nov. en el grupo Drosophila flavopilosa y Drosophila pseudomorelia sp. nov. en el grupo Drosophila morelia.
