Abstract:

The sycamore lace bug (SLB) (Corythucha ciliata) is one of the most abundant and widespread pests on plane (Platanus spp.) trees. 38 geographic location of C. ciliata from Europe, Asia and North America were analysed by sequencing. Seventeen haplotypes were detected on 1356 bp long fragment of the COI gene from 327 individuals. C. ciliata populations from North America showed a higher haplotype diversity (12 HTs), than populations from Europe (6 HTs) or populations from Japan (2HTs). The haplotypes formed two haplogroups, one including only North American HTs and another one including HTs from all continents.
