  abstract = {{S}imple {S}ummary {T}he bed bugs, {C}imex lectularius and {C}. hemipterus, have undergone a significant resurgence worldwide since the 1990s. {D}espite reports of bed bug infestations being on the rise in recent years in {F}rance, little is known about the geographical dispersion, species composition, and inter-and intraspecific genetic variation among bed bug populations in the {P}aris area. {T}he collection of 1211 samples of bed bugs from different infested locations in {P}aris (15 arrondissements) and its suburb cities (18 cities) allowed us to highlight {C}. lectularius as the predominant species and to document for the first time the presence of {C}. hemipterus in four infested locations (15th and 19th arrondissements, {B}obigny, and {V}illejuif) in the {P}aris area. {S}uccessful bidirectional sequencing of the cytochrome oxidase 1 ({COI}) gene for 132 specimens representing processed locations revealed two subpopulations of {C}. lectularius in {P}aris by neighbor-joining and network phylogenetic analyses. {T}hese results provide essential information for further epidemiological and public health studies and may help control management strategies in this metropolis. {C}imex lectularius and {C}. hemipterus are blood-sucking insects with a long history of presence in human communities. {W}e investigated the molecular diversity of the bed bug population of {P}aris and its suburb cities using cytochrome oxidase 1 ({CO}1) sequencing. {A} total of 1211 specimens belonging to different life stages were collected from 62 infested human dwellings in {P}aris (13 out of 20 arrondissements) and the surrounding cities (18 cities). {M}orphological determination and {COI} sequencing of 132 specimens demonstrated {C}. lectularius as the predominant species and, surprisingly, the presence of {C}. hemipterus in four infested areas of {P}aris and its suburb cities. {N}eighbor-joining tree and network analyses depicted the presence of two {C}. lectularius populations. {M}ost samples from {P}aris and its suburb cities clustered in a major clade. {T}he second population encompasses specimens from {P}aris (arrondissements 11 and 19) and its suburb cities (e.g., {B}obigny, {P}antin, and {M}ontreuil) that clustered with {H}ungary, {C}zechia, and {F}inland. {T}his is the second evidence for {C}. hemipterus infestation in {F}rance and the third in {E}urope, which challenges the classic pattern of {C}. hemipterus dispersion and implies sympatric occurrence of {C}. lectularius and {C}. hemipterus. {S}ince {P}aris is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, our observations shed light on bed bugs' dispersal dynamic and may help future vector control strategies.},
