Simple Summary Insects live in a complex and diverse environment, threatened by a variety of microorganisms, and the innate immunity of which plays an important role in defending the invasion of pathogens. From an evolutionary perspective, different living environments and lifestyles drive the different evolutionary patterns of immune systems of insects. Fig wasps are closely associated with the fig syconia, divided into pollinators and non-pollinators according to whether they pollinate the figs. The pollinators are all herbivorous, and fulfil their development within the fig syconia, presenting different lifestyles and diets to non-pollinators, which lead to the chances of exposure to the pathogens varying greatly. The recognition of pathogens is the first step in innate immunity. Therefore, we focused on the different evolutionary patterns of peptidoglycan recognition protein genes between pollinators and non-pollinators, and found that the number of peptidoglycan recognition protein genes was significantly smaller than that of non-pollinators, and the initiation of Toll pathway of pollinators was simpler than that of non-pollinators. All the results suggested a streamlined innate immune recognition system of pollinators, and this information will provide more insights into the adaptive evolution of innate immunity in insects of host specificity. Abstract The innate immunity is the most important defense against pathogen of insects, and the peptidoglycan recognition proteins (PGRPs) play an important role in the processes of immune recognition and initiation of Toll, IMD and other signal pathways. In fig wasps, pollinators and non-pollinators present different evolutionary histories and lifestyles, even though both are closely associated with fig syconia, which may indicate their different patterns in the evolution of PGRPs. By manual annotation, we got all the PGRP genes of 12 fig wasp species, containing seven pollinators and five non-pollinators, and investigated their putative different evolutionary patterns. We found that the number of PGRP genes in pollinators was significantly lower than in non-pollinators, and the number of catalytic PGRP presented a declining trend in pollinators. More importantly, PGRP-SA is associated with initiating the Toll pathway, as well as gram-negative bacteria-binding proteins (GNBPs), which were completely lost in pollinators, which led us to speculate that the initiation of Toll pathway was simpler in pollinators than in non-pollinators. We concluded that fig pollinators owned a more streamlined innate immune recognition system than non-pollinators. Our results provide molecular evidence for the adaptive evolution of innate immunity in insects of host specificity.
