  abstract = {{T}his study provides the first phylogenetic analysis of a large sample of the two largest genera of seed-beetles, {A}canthoscelides {S}chilsky and {B}ruchidius {S}chilsky, which mostly feed on legumes ( {F}abaceae). {T}he goal of this study was to investigate evolutionary patterns in relation to biogeography and host-plant associations. {W}e used three mitochondrial molecular markers and parsimony and {B}ayesian inference methods to reconstruct the phylogeny of 76 species. {I}n addition, we critically reviewed host-plant records in the literature for these two bruchid genera. {O}ur results demonstrated the existence of two major clades, one {N}ew {W}orld and one largely {O}ld {W}orld, which generally correspond to the two genera. {Y}et, current classification of several species is erroneous, so that both genera as currently defined are paraphyletic. {W}e highlighted a strong trend toward specialization ( with high taxonomic conservatism in host-plant use) exhibited by the two studied genera. {H}owever, we showed the existence of several host shifts during the evolution of this group of bruchids. {O}ur phylogenetic hypotheses and our evaluation of host-plant associations both suggest that the two genera have undergone parallel evolution, as they have independently colonized similar host plants in their respective areas of distribution. {O}ur estimation of divergence times indicated a more ancient origin for bruchids than that suggested by the fossil records. {I}nterestingly, the suggested timing of diversification is consistent with the hypothesis of a radiation that could have occurred contemporaneously with the diversification of their legume hosts.},
