DNA Barcoding And Species Delimitation Of Pyrausta (Lepidoptera: Crambidae, Pyraustinae) With Some Populations In Turkey

Abstract

Pyrausta aurata (Scopoli, 1763), P. despicata (Scopoli, 1763), P. sanguinalis (Linnaeus, 1767), P. castalis (Treitschke, 1829), P. pavidalis (Zerny in Osthelder, 1935) and P. gulpembe (Kemal & Koçak, 2018) from Turkey were first time barcoded in the present study. Turkish populations and new species P. tatarica (Kemal, Kızıldağ & Koçak, 2020) were evaluated the phylogenetic positions with other Pyrausta species and populations. In the phylogenetic tree based on the mtCOI gene region delimitation of species and populations constructed with Neighbor-joining, Bayesian inference, and maximum-likelihood algorithms. For understanding the importance of the phylogenetic species concept in species delimitation, was reviewed cladistic topology and genetic distances of Pyrausta species with new data.
