Wockia, one of the six genera within the lepidopteran family Urodidae, currently includes nine species distributed in Holarctic, Oriental, and Neotropical regions. A new species of the genus, W. magna sp. nov., is described from Japan and South Korea. This is the first record of Urodidae from Japan. A cladistic analysis was constructed based on 27 morphological characters from five ingroup species and two outgroup taxa. A single most parsimonious tree was found (length = 38, CI = 71, RI = 70). The resulting tree failed to recover the monophyly of Wockia chewbacca and a clade Wockia sensu stricto, including four congeners from North America, temperate East Asia and Southeast Asia. Wockia sensu stricto was resolved as monophyletic and was divided into two subgroups, one including W. asperipunctella and W. magna, and the other including W. koreana and W. variata. The sister-group relationship of W. asperipunctella and W. magna was moderately supported. Synapomorphies of Wockia sensu stricto are provided from the resulting phylogeny. Systematic definitions of Wockia and other allied genera are revised. Optimal ancestral area reconstruction implemented in DIVA resulted in different hypotheses for Wockia, depending on how to constrain the maximum number of areas. The maximum area number set as two yielded a more likely scenario suggesting that Wockia sensu stricto originated in temperate East Asia and then dispersed into the Oriental region, North America, and Europe. A working hypothesis and other equally possible alternative explanations for the biogeography of Wockia are provided. Key words: biogeography, cladistic analysis, taxonomy, Urodoidea, Wockia INTRODUCTION The False Burnet moth family, Urodidae currently include six genera: Urodus Herrich-Schäffer, 1854, Wockia Heinemann, 1870, Spildarcha Meyrick, 1913, Anchimacheta Walsingham, 1914, Incawockia Heppner, 2010a, and Anomalomeuta Sohn, 2013a. Many of the included species have long been misidentified as Yponomeutidae or Plutellidae. Kyrki (1984) first suggested that they are distinguishable from Yponomeutoidea in having the tortricoid type of thoracic-abdominal articulation and hence representing close ties with Apoditrysia. Later, Kyrki (1988) assigned them to their own family Urodidae. This proposal has been corroborated by two recent molecular studies (Sohn et al., 2013; Regier et al., 2013), whereas their systematic position within Apoditrysia remains unclear. Kyrki (1988) noticed that Urodidae share some characteristics with Schreckensteiniidae, such as the elongate prolegs of the larvae and the loosely-meshed cocoon, although those similarities are not * Corresponding author.

exclusively unique to those two families. Among molecular phylogenetic studies, Mutanen et al. (2010) recovered Schreckensteiniidae as sister to Urodidae. On the other hand, Cho et al. (2011) found that the Urodidae are a sister taxon to Alucitidae, Choreutidae, Pterophoridae, or Tortricidae, depending on the data set. In Regier et al. (2013), Urodidae were identified as sister to the rest of apoditrysian families. None of the abovementioned studies, however, resolved the relationships with significant support. Wockia is a relatively small genus comprising gray or fuscous micro-moths with an oblique antemedian band of raised scales (Kyrki, 1986). Members in the genus are very similar to those in Blastobasidae or Phycitinae (Pyralidae) in superficial appearance (Landry, 1998). Kyrki (1988) provided generic features, based on W. asperipunctella (Bruand, 1851), the only confirmed species of the genus in his study. Since then, the species diversity of Wockia has increased with discoveries of new species from several faunal regions. Wockia currently include nine described species: W. asperipunctella from Europe and North America (Kyrki, 1988; Heppner, 1997; Landry, 1998); W. balikpapanella Kyrki, 1986 from Borneo (Kyrki, 1986); W. koreana Sohn, 2008 from South Korea (Sohn and Adamski, 2008); W. variata Sohn and Park, 2009 from North Vietnam (Sohn and Park, 2009; Heppner, 2010b); two Mexican species, W.

Phylogeny and biogeography of Wockia chewbacca Adamski, 2009 and W. mexicana Adamski, 2009 (Adamski et al., 2009); two Jamaican species, W. diabloca Sohn, 2013 and W. tetroidon Sohn, 2013 (Sohn, 2013b); and W. pelotas Heppner, 2008 from Brazil (Heppner, 2008). This increase in species diversity has prompted a reconsideration of Kyrki’s (1988) definition of the genus. Global distribution of Wockia includes at least four zoogeographic regions, in contrast to the other five urodid genera, Anchimacheta, Anomalomeuta, Incawockia, Spiladarcha, and Urodus, which are entirely or predominantly Neotropical. Such widely scattered occurrence of Wockia may not be easy to understand without phylogenetic approaches. Thus far, however, no phylogenetic study has attempted to resolve the interspecific relationships or the biogeography of Wockia. The objectives of this study are to: 1) construct a phylogeny of Wockia, based on their morphologies, 2) understand their biogeography, and 3) describe a new species from Japan and South Korea that is the second congener from the temperate East Asia. MATERIALS AND METHODS Preparation of data set A total of seven taxa, including two outgroup taxa, Spiladarcha adamskii Sohn, 2012 and Anchimacheta iodes Walsingham, 1914, were sampled. Pinned specimens were obtained from the following collections (also see Supplementary Table S1 online): Natural History Museum, London, United Kingdom (BMNH); Chungbuk

National University, Cheongju, South Korea (CNU); Florida Museum of Natural History, Gainesville, Florida, USA (FLMNH); Korea National Arboretum, Pocheon, Kyonggi, South Korea (KNA); United States Museum of Natural History, Washington DC, USA (USNM). External morphologies were examined with a Leica MZ APO stereoscope and photographed using a Nikon D40 digital camera. Genitalia slides were prepared following Clarke (1941), with the modifications that Chlorazol Black was used for staining and Euparal resin for permanent slide mounting. The wings were slidemounted according to Hodges (2005). Slide-mounted specimens were examined with a Leica LETTZ-DMRX microscope. Terminology follows Klots (1970) for genitalia; Wootton (1979) for wing venation; and Heppner (1998) for other body parts. Ovipositor is defined as the segments and intersegmental membranes after the abdominal segment VIII. Verbatim label data are given only for holotype. Character coding The data matrix was constructed using WinClada ver. 1.0 (Nixon, 2002). A total of 27 adult morphological characters were coded. Parsimony-uninformative characters were excluded to avoid their influence on branch support calculation (Carpenter, 1992). The morphological characters (Table 1) were retrieved from the heads (n = 3), wings (n = 3), male genitalia (n = 12), and female genitalia (n = 9). All encoded characters were binary, non-additive, and equally weighted. Missing data were encoded as “?” and inapplicable character states as “–”. The data matrix is available at the Supplementary Table S2 online.

Phylogenetic analysis Parsimony analyses were performed using WinClada ver. 1.0 (Nixon, 2002) which implements NONA ver. 2.0 (Goloboff, 1999) to search for the most parsimonious tree. The following commands were used: hold 1000, hold/100, mult*1000, max*, and mswap+. The resulting trees were examined with WinClada under unambiguous, fast (=ACCTRAN), and slow (=DELTRAN) character optimizations. The latter two were equally considered due to no theoretical ground of favoring one of those (Agnarsson and Miller, 2008). Confidence was estimated by two resampling plans, jackknife and nonparametric bootstrap, and Bremer support. Jackknifing and bootstrapping were estimated from 500 replications or 500 pseudoreplicates respectively. Bremer supports were calculated with commands that searched for suboptimal trees at least five steps longer than the shortest tree (command: ‘bs 5;’) . The Bremer support ‘five’ represents a threshold of high support (Wenzel, 2002) and thus the values higher than five were not calculated. I regard more than 90% of jackknife or bootstrap and more than ‘3’ of Bremer supports (Davis, 1995; DeBry, 2001) as strong nodal supports. A strict consensus tree (Sokal and Rohlf, 1981) was used to summarize results. Biogeography Cladistic biogeography of Wockia was traced using the Divergence– Vicariance analysis (DIVA ver. 1.1: Ronquist, 1996). Five general distribution areas were used: Europe, eastern Palearctic (Korea and Japan), Oriental, Neotropical, and Nearctic regions. If a species is found in more than one area, all areas were coded for its extant distribution. The most parsimonious tree from my cladistic analysis was used as a tree topology for the DIVA analysis. Optimization parameters were set as (1) default (no limitation in maximum areas) and (2) two maximum areas (“maxareas = 2”).

Remarks. The male and female specimens of W. magna were paired by similarities in their size and forewing patterns, especially the positions of the raised scales of patches on the subbasal and the antemedian lines. The female specimen, however, possesses a slightly darker head with shorter ventral cilia on the flagellomeres. These differences may be due to individual variation or sexual dimorphism.

Spiladarcha adamskii and five species of Wockia formed a strong monophyletic group against Anchimacheta iodes (Fig. 2: 100 in both bootstrapping and jackknifing; > 5 in Bremer support). The resulting tree placed Wockia chewbacca and Spiladarcha adamskii together, apart from other four species of Wockia. A grouping of Wockia chewbacca and Spiladarcha adamskii was, however, very weakly supported (Fig. 2: < 50% in both bootstrapping and jackknifing; 1 in Bremer support). Four species, W. koreana, W. variata, W. asperipunctella, and W. magna, were recovered as a strongly-supported monophyletic group (Fig. 2: 91% in both bootstrapping and jackknifing; Bremer support = 4). The clade including these four species was split into two species pairs, W. magna + W. asperipunctella versus W. koreana + W. variata. The monophyly of the former pair was moderately supported (Fig. 2: bootstrap = 81; jackknife = 78; Bremer support = 2) with three unambiguous character changes (Fig. 3). Character optimizations for the resulting tree proposed four synapomorphies for the other pair including W. koreana and W. variata (Fig. 3). This grouping was, however, weakly supported (Fig. 2: bootstrap = 72; jackknife = 71; Bremer support = 2). Biogeography The DIVA result required two dispersals for the optimal reconstruction with no constraint (Fig. 4). When the maximum number of possible areas was set to two, the reconstruction required two steps longer, hence four dispersals. The more differences in the reconstructed ancestral areas

Phylogeny My phylogenetic analysis resulted in only a single most parsimonious tree (Fig. 2: tree length = 38, CI = 71, RI = 70).

rate clade (Fig. 2). This proposition, however, remains inconclusive, since there exists an uncertainty in the interrelationships of W. chewbacca, Spiladarcha adamskii and the clade including other four species of Wockia. A grouping of W. chewbacca and Spiladarcha adamskii was supported by three synapomorphies (Fig. 3): the triangular uncus (7); the lack of the posterolateral bulges on the uncus (9); and the presence of winkles in the ductus bursae near the ostium bursae (19). Wockia chewbacca, however, lacks four autapomorphies of Spiladarcha proposed by Sohn (2012). Similar to these results, Adamski et al. (2009) observed the distinctiveness of W. chewbacca from W. asperipunctella, the type species of Wockia, Fig.4.‫ޓ‬Ancestral distributions of five species of Wockia and two outgroup taxa, optimized in DIVA. based on DNA barcoding The phylogeny was modified from Fig. 2.

Holarctic and Oriental regions formed a clade (Wockia The Holarctic and Oriental Wockia were then diverged by sensu stricto in Fig. 2) substantiated by five synapomorphies: i.e. the absence of spiniform scales on the distal 1/3 vicariance events (Fig. 4). Differing from this view, the sceof the 3rd labial palpal segment (1); the presence of few long nario with two maximum areas assumed postulated that setae on the posterior margin of the uncal plate (8); the Wockia and Spiladarcha may be originated from Neotropics absence of a band-like gnathos (10); the inception of ductus plus temperate East Asia and then dispersed into Oriental seminalis near the corpus bursae (24); and the presence of Region, North America and Europe (Fig. 4). two opposable signa (26). Of these characteristics, the latter DISCUSSION two are homoplastic in Urodus. Phylogeny of Wockia Interrelationships of four species within Wockia sensu The resulting phylogeny from my analyses showed that stricto were only partly resolved from my analyses. Of the Wockia and Spiladarcha form a monophyletic clade against species, Wockia asperipunctella and W. magna were Anchimacheta iodes. These two genera are distinct from grouped together with moderate supports (Fig. 2). This relationship was substantiated by three synapomorphies (Fig. Anchimacheta in two characteristics (character numbers in parentheses; see Fig. 3 and Table 1 for the characters): the 3): i.e., the presence of the tapering, elongate valvae (12); presence of two erected scales of sub-basal dots on the the presence of a long band-like juxta (16); and the presforewing (3); the presence of erected scales of small spot in ence of an appendix bursae as the site for the inception of the tornal area of forewing (4). The genus Wockia as curthe ductus seminalis (23). The elongate valva and juxta are rently defined, however, turned out to be non-monophyletic, similar to Urodus. In addition to these, a slow character optias W. chewbacca and Spiladarcha adamskii form a sepamization scheme identified two homoplasies (character # 22

Phylogeny and biogeography of Wockia and 25) to support the grouping of the two species (Fig. 3). The male and female of W. magna were paired by superficial similarity and thus they could represent two separate species. The phylogenetic analysis reflecting this possibility recovered the identical tree as Fig. 2 (data not shown), except that the node bearing W. asperipunctella and the male and female of W. magna as three terminals was poorly supported (64 in both jackknife and bootstrap). The lower support values might be due to the increased number of missing data when the male and female of W. magna are treated as two separate terminal taxa. The other two species of Wockia sensu stricto, W. koreana and W. variata, were paired with each other in the resulting phylogeny. Their monophyly was suggested by four synapomorphies including the vertical vestiture of head covered with broad scales (0); the dorsal and lateral areas of occiput with the same shaped scales (2); the presence of the transparent hyline region in the hindwing (5); and the presence of a lobe between the cucullus and the distal end of sacculus (14). In spite of these shared features, the pair was poorly supported (Fig. 2: 72 in bootstrap; 71 in jackknife). Their relatedness is indeed undermined by several differences in the genitalia; e.g. the presence of uncal processes and additional lobes on cucullus in the male genitalia of W. variata; and the presence of nearly entire sclerotization in the female ductus bursae of W. koreana. Wockia balikpapanella Kyrki described by a single female from Borneo is undoubtedly related with W. variata in the genital features (Heppner, 2010b). Biogeography of Wockia Historical biogeography of a group of organisms requires their robust phylogenetic relationships and divergence times. Only the formal information as achieved from this study is available for Wockia, whereas dating the phylogeny is, at present, infeasible due to the lack of fossils reliably assigned to Urodidae (Sohn et al., 2012). Therefore, temporal components in the biogeography of Wockia need to be inferred from their extant distribution and the circumstantial evidences from other lepidopteran groups (cladistics biogeography approaches). Grimaldi and Engel (2005) speculated that majority of the apoditrysian superfamilies originated during the Late Cretaceous in accordance with angiosperm diversification. Therefore, the divergence of Urodidae may date back to the Late Cretaceous to the early Cenozoic. When Wockia originated, however, remains uncertain due to the lack of a robust phylogeny for Urodidae. In my DIVA analyses, the ancestral area reconstruction for Wockia was critically affected, depending on how to constrain the maximum number of areas (Fig. 4). No constraint on the parameter suggested the broad distribution of ancestral Wockia spanning the Palearctic and the Oriental regions, and the New World. This renders that their extant distribution is largely due to vicariance (Fig. 4). In the other, constraining the reconstruction with the maximum area number ‘2’ proposed the rather narrow ancestral areas for Wockia and Spiladarcha including the temperate East Asia and the Neotropical region (Fig. 4). This proposal seems to be the more likely scenario for two reasons. First, the broad ancestral distribution of Wockia assumes a similarly broad distribution of ancestral Urodidae, which is contradicted from

263

the fact that all urodid genera other than Wockia occur exclusively in the New World. Second, there are no geological references (fossils and continental associations) justifying the exclusive distribution of Wockia in the four zoogeographical ecozones. In fact, DIVA optimization tends to recover a large ancestral distribution including most of all of the areas occupied by the terminal taxa (Ronquist, 1996). Therefore, the resulting reconstruction often assumes vicariance in deep nodes, unless constrained in the maximum number of unit areas (Kodandaramaiah, 2010). DIVA needs at least two unit areas to constrain the reconstruction. The proposed ancestral area of Wockia including the temperate East Asia and the Neotropical Region is very likely due to this limitation of DIVA. Both Wockia chewbacca and Spiladarcha adamskii are exclusively Neotropical. There also are no geological events supporting the exclusive connection between East Asian and Neotropical faunas. From these reasons, it is most likely that Wockia and Spiladarcha originated in the Neotropical Region and the former genus then radiated to the temperate East Asia through a bridge of North America. Consistent with this scenario, faunal exchanges between North America and South America during the Late Cretaceous and the early Cenozoic have been observed for mammals (Pascual and Jaureguizar, 1992) and snakes (Holman, 2000). All four species of Wockia from the Holarctic and Oriental regions formed a clade (Wockia s. str.) not containing the Neotropical W. chewbacca. An ancestral distribution of this clade suggested to include all areas where the four terminal taxa occur without a constraint in optimization in ancestral area reconstruction; and to include only the temperate East Asia from the scenario with the maximum area number constrained to ‘2’. The former scenario is less likely, and may be due to the same limitation of unconstrained DIVA analysis as for Wockia and Spiladarcha. In the other, the latter scenario seems to be coincided with faunal and floral exchanges between Eurasian and North American continents during Eocene (e.g., Tiffney, 1985; Eberle and Greenwood, 2011; Missiaen et al., 2011). Once established in the temperate East Asia, the Wockia s. str. was divided following two diversification pathways. One of those represented by W. koreana was dispersed to the Oriental Region where two congeners, W. variata and W. balikpapanella, occur. The other lineage gave rise to W. magna and W. asperipunctella, which are apparently related with each other. This diversification scenario, however, is tentative, because the interrelationships of the four congeners have not been fully resolved. Therefore, the diversification of Wockia following a route from South America to North America (W. asperipunctella) and then to East Asia and the Oriental Region is also equally possible. Two Holarctic species, W. magna and W. asperipunctella, seem to be diverged relatively recently, considering the similarities in their genital structures. My DIVA analysis with a least maximum area constraint suggested two alternative scenarios in their ancestral distribution (Fig. 4). One scenario is involved in the faunal connection between East Asia and North America. It is well known that such a connection, often referred to as the ‘Bering Land Bridge,’ actually existed at various times during the Pleistocene ice ages. The other scenario assumes a trans-Eurasian distribution of the

lineage, which is undermined by the absence of Wockia in other areas than Europe, Korea and Japan. Wockia asperipunctella had long been regarded as a European endemic. Heppner (1997) found the species from the northeastern United States. The Nearctic populations of W. asperipunctella were originally thought due to anthropogenic introduction (Heppner, 1997). Landry (1998), however, suggested that the species is native to North America. It is very possible that those two regional populations of W. asperipunctella resulted from the faunal exchanges between Europe and North America during the Quaternary glaciation. It is noteworthy that all three species of Wockia whose host plants are known are associated with Salicaceae. This may suggest that the biogeography of Wockia is associated with the evolutionary history of Salicaceae. This hypothesis, however, remains elusive since the phylogeny (Leskinen and Alström-Rapaport, 1999) and the fossil record (Collinson, 1992) of Salicaceae are incomplete. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank Prof. Akito Kawahara (University of Florida, Gainesville and FLMNH) for critically editing my manuscript and giving me advice on cladistics analyses. I am also grateful to Drs. Donald Davis and David Adamski (Department of Entomology, USNM) for allowing my examination of the specimens from the USNM collection. I especially appreciate Prof. Charles Mitter (University of Maryland, College Park) for his encouragement and financial support for my museum visit.
