Similar genes are found in other species of leaf beetle, suggesting that this type of transporter has been retained throughout evolution.
The fact that both duplicates have been retained throughout evolution suggests that there is a functional advantage to having both (see ref 2).
One possible explanation could be that some evolutionary changes took place during the formation of eukaryotic lineages and have been retained throughout evolution.
