  abstract = {{B}etween the late {O}ligocene and the early {M}iocene, climatic changes have shattered the faunal and floral communities and drove the apparition of new ecological niches. {G}rassland biomes began to supplant forestlands, thus favouring a large-scale ecosystem turnover. {T}he independent adaptive radiations of several mammal lineages through the evolution of key innovations are classic examples of these changes. {H}owever, little is known concerning the evolutionary history of other herbivorous groups in relation with this modified environment. {I}t is especially the case in phytophagous insect communities, which have been rarely studied in this context despite their ecological importance. {H}ere, we investigate the phylogenetic and evolutionary patterns of grass-specialist moths from the species-rich tribe {A}pameini ({L}epidoptera, {N}octuidae). {T}he molecular dating analyses carried out over the corresponding phylogenetic framework reveal an origin around 29 million years ago for the {A}pameini. {A}ncestral state reconstructions indicate (i) a potential {P}alaearctic origin of the tribe {A}pameini associated with a major dispersal event in {A}frotropics for the subtribe {S}esamiina; (ii) a recent colonization from {P}alaearctic of the {N}ew {W}orld and {O}riental regions by several independent lineages; and (iii) an ancestral association of the tribe {A}pameini over grasses ({P}oaceae). {D}iversification analyses indicate that diversification rates have not remained constant during the evolution of the group, as underlined by a significant shift in diversification rates during the early {M}iocene. {I}nterestingly, this age estimate is congruent with the development of grasslands at this time. {R}ather than clade ages, variations in diversification rates among genera better explain the current differences in species diversity. {O}ur results underpin a potential adaptive radiation of these phytophagous moths with the family {P}oaceae in relation with the major environmental shifts that have occurred in the {M}iocene.},
