    Evidence accumulates that the functional plasticity of insulin and insulin-like growth factor signaling (IIS) in insects could spring, among others, from the multiplicity of insulin receptors (InRs). Their multiple variants may be implemented in the control of insect polyphenism, such as wing or caste polyphenism. Here, we present a comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of insect InR sequences in 118 species from 23 orders and investigate the role of three InRs identified in the linden bug, Pyrrhocoris apterus, in wing polymorphism control. We identified two gene clusters (Cluster I and II) resulting from an ancestral duplication in a late ancestor of winged insects, which remained conserved in most lineages, only in some of them being subject to further duplications or losses. One remarkable yet neglected feature of InR evolution is the loss of the tyrosine kinase catalytic domain, giving rise to decoys of insulin receptor in both clusters. Within the Cluster I, we confirmed the presence of the secreted decoy of insulin receptor (SDR) in all studied Muscomorpha. More importantly, we described a new tyrosine kinase-less gene (DR2) in the Cluster II, conserved in apical Holometabola for 300 million years. We differentially silenced the three P. apterus InRs and confirmed their participation in wing polymorphism control. We observed a pattern of Cluster I and II InRs impact on wing development, which differed from that postulated in planthoppers, suggesting an independent establishment of IIS control over wing development, leading to idiosyncrasies in the cooption of multiple InRs in polyphenism control in different taxa.
