The brown marmorated stinkbug, Halyomorpha halys, is an invasive insect pest in North America and Europe that attacks crop species causes substantial economic damage. To evaluate the genetic diversities distributions of different H. halys populations East Asia, America, Europe, COI sequences obtained from 79 new specimens Korea 10 USA were compared with 725 existing sequences. In total, 45 haplotypes detected countries. Sixteen (H34–H49) 2 (H50 H51) novel. Korean exhibited 2nd highest diversity among countries, only Greece exhibiting higher diversity. Haplotype H22 was prominent Korea, H1 China, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Canada, USA, H3 France Switzerland. Of 18 found 1 shared China (H2) (H22). patterns showed genetically distinct America. This suggested arose through multiple invasions (with exception Greece), did not spread to other study represents a comprehensive analysis places these global context includes native Asia
