ITS2 sequencing identity according to GenBank references of females from various locations.

The females were divided in to three groups: A- Individuals with more than 98% identity with P. citri, considered as P. citri. B- Individuals with more than 98% identity with P. ficus, considered as P. ficus. H- Individuals with less than 92% identity with P. citri and P. ficus, confirmed after cloning and sequencing as hybrids of the two species (CM refers to P. citri and VM to P. ficus). ITS2 GenBank references: P. ficus: GU134677, JQ085574, HQ852471, P. citri: JF714195. The species of the populations determined by COI sequencing and comparison to GenBank references (P. ficus: JN120845, EU250573, DQ238220 and P. citri: AB439517, AF483204).*Numbering according to Table 2.**Number of examined specimens.***Cloning could not obtained.
