In the preceding symposium, we presented the result of the phylogenetic analysis of Stigmaeopsis spider mites (Acari: Tetranychidae) in Japan using sequence data of the Cytochrome Oxidase subunit I (COI) region of mitochondria DNA. We analyzed haplotypes representing S. longus, S. celarius, S. takahashii and S. saharai, which inhabit bamboo species of the genera Sasa and Phyllostachys (Poaceae; Bambusoideae), and two forms of S. miscanthi (HG and LW) living on Miscanthus sinensis (Poaceae; Panicoideae). Both neighborjoining and maximum-likelihood methods revealed that Stigmaeopsis consists of seven monophyletic groups, in which two forms of S. miscanthi form two distinct monophyletic groups, whereas four species of bamboo-inhabiting species comprise a polyphyletic assembly. These results imply a mismatch between diagnostic morphological characters (i.e. the length of dorsal setae) and their phylogenetic lineages for bamboo-inhabiting species, requiring re-evaluation of the use of these characters. In addition, our results indicate that plural lineages coexist in a single habitat at various regions, suggesting that differentiated lineages secondarily encounter around southwestern Japan. Interestingly, the result of phylogenetic analysis on mitochondrial COI and nuclear ITS1 region was, in part, inconsistent in internal branches. In this symposium, I re-analyzed more these data by phylogenetic network analysis. Based on the results, I make some inference about the process of habitat expansion of these mites.
