| Research Abstract |
In order to clarify how the synbiotic systems have been established around the paticular plant group, we examined the phylogenetic relationships of the insect groups feeding the plant species group with disjunct distribution between East Asia and eastern North America.In Lepidoptera, with a few exceptions, the moths feeding on closely related plant species in East Asia and North America was a sister species to each other. On the other hand, in the order Coleoptera, beetles eeding on closely related plant species in East Asia and North America, were mostly not closelyrelated phylogenetically.
