The Philippine archipelago is a well-recognized biodiversity hotspot in the world. The generators of its high biodiversity have been proposed to be the following five mechanisms: the complex geological history, repeat formation and breakup of the Pleistocene Aggregation Island Complex (PAIC) in the glaciation cycles, dispersal from mainland source, colonization between islands, and in situ diversification. Here, we tested the effects of PAIC and island dispersal on the biogeographic history and diversification of endemic treehoppers, Pyrgonota bifoliata species group, in the Philippines. A total of 95 specimens of P. bifoliata species group, including seven morphological species, were sampled from 43 sites across 11 major and neighboring islands of the Philippine archipelago. The phylogeny, ancestral distributions and divergence time were reconstructed using RAD-seq data. The demographic history of populations from Bohol and Leyte/Samar was inferred by Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC). The results show that the divergence time of the P. bifoliata species group were in the glacial cycles of the late Pleistocene, as predicted from the PAIC model of speciation. However, species from the same PAICs do not form monophyletic groups. The ancestral distributions show many between-island and between-PAIC dispersal events. The ABC results show continuous gene flows before and after the last glacial maximum between populations of Bohol and Leyte/Samar. This study suggests that the colonization between islands and continuous gene flows are the major drivers of diversification of P. bifoliata species group.
