  abstract = {{T}hanks to the recent development of integrative approaches that combine dated phylogenies with models of biogeographic evolution, it is becoming more feasible to assess the roles of dispersal and vicariance in creating complex patterns of geographical distribution. {H}owever, the historical biogeography of taxa with good dispersal abilities, like birds or flying insects, still remains largely unknown because of the lack of complete phylogenies accompanied by robust estimates of divergence times. {I}n this study, we investigate the evolution and historical biogeography of the globally distributed pest genus {S}podoptera ({L}epidoptera: {N}octuidae) using complete taxon sampling and an extensive set of analyses. {T}hrough the analysis of a combined morphological and molecular dataset, we provide the first robust phylogenetic framework for this widespread and economically important group of moths. {H}istorical biogeography approaches indicate that dispersal events have been the driving force in the biogeographic history of the group. {O}ne of the most interesting findings of this study is the probable occurrence of two symmetric long-distance dispersal events between the {A}frotropical and the {N}eotropical region, which appear to have occurred in the late {M}iocene. {E}ven more remarkably, our dated phylogenies reveal that the diversification of the clade that includes specialist grass feeders has followed closely the expansion of grasslands in the {M}iocene, similar to the adaptive radiation of specialist grazing mammals during the same period.},
