“…For the age of the common ancestor of the Aphididae, Adelgidae and Phylloxeridae (i.e., the root), a maximum age constraint of 165 Ma was utilized to avoid unrealistic divergence time estimates using a uniform prior distribution. The maximum age constraint was based on the oldest undoubted fossil † Daoaphis magnalata from the Middle Jurassic in Inner Mongolia, China (Huang et al, 2015), which belongs to the extinct family Oviparosiphidae thought to be sister to Aphididae (Havill et al, 2007; Heie, 1987; von Dohlen & Moran, 2000).…”

Chaitophorinae is a predominantly Northern Hemisphere aphid subfamily characterized by numerous setae on the body. Two constituent tribes are associated with different host plants, with Chaitophorini feeding on deciduous trees and shrubs and Siphini colonizing grasses. Based on data from multiple genes (COI, COII, Cytb and EF‐1α), geographical distribution and host association, this study investigated the phylogeny and macroevolution of Chaitophorinae using phylogenetic reconstruction, molecular dating, model‐based ancestral area and character estimations and diversification rate calculation. Our results support the monophyly of Chaitophorinae and two tribes, indicate that Sipha and the two largest genera Chaitophorus and Periphyllus are not monophyletic, and suggest a need for a change in the taxonomic status of Lambersaphis, which was nested within Chaitophorus in the phylogenetic tree. We recovered an origin of Chaitophorinae on Acer plants from eastern Asia during the Late Cretaceous to early Palaeocene, followed by multiple dispersals into other areas that were responsible for its contemporary distribution. The origins of Siphini and Chaitophorus + Lambersaphis coincided with colonizations of novel host plants. An increase in diversification rate occurred within Chaitophorus in the Miocene and was associated with range expansion and switching onto new host plants, highlighting the roles of dispersal and host shift in aphid diversification.

“…It is a superfamily within the infraorder Aphidomorpha BECKER-MIGDISOVA & AIZENBERG, 1962(HEIE & WEGIEREK 2009, which originated in the Triasssic or in the Upper Permian. Aphids with siphuncular pores (Aphidoidea) have existed since the Middle Jurassic (HUANG et al 2012) or earlier, but until the end of the Cretaceous most aphids belonging to extinct families did not have such structures.…”

A theory about the evolutionary history of Lachnidae and comments on the results of some molecular phylogenetic studies of aphids (Hemiptera: Aphidoidea)

ABSTRACT. Several characters of the Lachnidae are discussed, and it is explained why some of them are not plesiomorphies as previously believed, but apomorphies. This applies e.g. to the absence of host alternation in the extant genera, to the short cauda and to the presence of compound eyes in the nymphs and the apterous adults. Some characters are adaptations to attention by ants or ways of feeding. It is concluded that many characters show that the family is relatively young and probably originally had host alternation of the same kind as Aphididae, which is regarded as the sister group. The results of some molecular phylogenetic studies are discussed.

“…The same result was also revealed under the IW searching strategy. So far, this genus, described from the Daohugou deposit (Middle Jurassic of China) [ 24 ], is the oldest known unambiguous Oviparosiphid taxon because taxonomic placement of the older Grimmenaphis magnifica Ansorge, 1996, known from an isolated wing from the Upper Liassic (Lower Jurassic) Grimmen deposit (Germany) [ 56 ], is questionable. Under the IW searching strategy, the genus Acathotrichaphis Shaposhnikov & Wegierek, 1989 was found as a sister group to the Bajsaphididae + Vitimaphis + Canadaphididae group ( Fig 8B ).…”

“…Originally Shcherbakov [ 19 ] treated Naibioidea as a missing link between Aphidomorpha and their sister group Coccomorpha, but Hong et al [ 20 ] and Heie & Wegierek [ 7 , 21 , 22 ] placed them as a superfamily within Aphidomorpha, refusing some of the characters presented by Shcherbakov [ 19 ]. Jurassic aphids are also scarce and only nine species were described [ 22 , 23 , 24 ]. The oldest, undoubted family for which body remains are known is Juraphididae, described from the Late Jurassic, and it is also the first family established from phylogenetic analysis [ 23 ] that was a good starting point for the subsequent attempts.…”

“…One of the oldest known extinct families of aphids is Oviparosiphidae, described from the Middle Jurassic to the late Early Cretaceous [ 22 , 46 ]. The family currently consists of only 15 species classified into 10 genera, but they are highly diverse morphologically [ 22 , 24 , 47 ]. It is the first known group with a special structure on the dorsal part of the abdomen, the so-called siphunculi.…”

Aphidoidea, the so-called "true aphids" are one of the most challenging groups in terms of solving the phylogenetic relationships. Morphology-based analyses were strongly affected by widespread homoplasy, while the molecular-based attempts struggled with the lack of sufficient phylogenetic signal. Despite significant improvements, the higher classification still remains unresolved and rather controversial. However, the use of the fossil record, one of the most valuable sources of information, was mainly limited to calibration of a phylogenetic tree, without a direct inclusion into the analysis. The extinct family Oviparosiphidae has long been considered as the common ancestor of all recent Aphidoidea and it was used as a calibration point in several analyses, but it has been never analyzed in a phylogenetic context. The family has been treated as a monophyletic group purely based on the simultaneous presence of two abdominal structures, ovipositor and siphunculi. However, it has been shown recently that at least one more extinct lineage, present at the same time, was characterized by the same features. For these reasons, we performed a maximum parsimony analysis using morphological data for extinct aphid taxa to prove the monophyly of Oviparosiphidae. Our analysis shows that the presumed ancestor lineage of recent aphids is a polyphyletic group. Our results support the hypothesis of an early Mesozoic rapid radiation of aphids, which led to several different lineages characterized by both ovipositor and siphunculi. The results indicate the necessity of examining the other extinct families, and shows that the diversity of aphids before the Cretaceous Terrestrial Revolution (KTR) was higher than expected. Even though there is not enough data to perform a formal analysis, fossils seem to suggest a significant impact of the KTR on aphid diversification. Additionally, we have made a redescription of two genera and description of a new species, Vitimaphis subridens sp. nov.
