Numerous studies have illustrated their wide impact on host biology, such as reproduction, behavior, andphysiology One of the most common inherited symbionts is Rickettsia spp. (Alphaproteobacteria, Rickettsiales),which are found in about one-quarter of terrestrial arthropods, as well as in other invertebrates. In insectpopulations, Rickettsia spp. have been reported to cause reproductive modifications and fecundity-enhancingeffects. Here, we investigated the incidence and genetic diversity of Rickettsia symbionts in green lacewings (Neuroptera, Chrysopidae), which are best known for their use as biological control agents against crop pests.[Results]: We screened 18 species of green lacewings and allies for Rickettsia and found the symbiont in 10 species, infecting 20–100% of sampled individuals. Strain characterization based on multiple bacterial loci revealed an unprecedented diversity of Rickettsia associated with lacewings, suggesting multiple independent acquisitions. Further, the detected Rickettsia lineages are restricted to a specific lineage (i.e., species or genus) of investigated lacewings, and these associations are stable across multiple sampled locations and points in time. .[Conclusions]: We conclude that Rickettsia-lacewing symbioses are common and evolutionarily stable. The role of these symbionts remains to be identified, but is potentially important to optimizing their use in biological pest controlMG is currently funded by the European Commission through a Marie Curie Fellowship (H2020-MSCA-IF-2015, 703,379).
