. Genetic structure and phylogeny analysis of coconut black headed caterpillar, Opisina arenosella Walker (Lepidoptera: Oecophoridae)
... The information about phylogenetic relationships of the Family Trichogrammatidae is not readily available for the lack of sufficient data from a wide variety of genetic markers. The genetic diversity and phylogeny of Opisina arenosella (Rukhsana and Sebastian, 2014) and Hyblaeidae family (Chandrasekhar et al., 2008) are also studied. The focus of the current study was to decipher the systematic position and phylogeny of family Trichogrammatidae using mitochondrial COI gene sequences. ...
For the past few years, DNA barcoding has become an efficient method for the identification of species. In this study we test the efficiency of DNA barcoding for true bug, Zicrona caerulea (Hemiptera: Heteroptera), an ecologically and economically important as well as morphologically diverse insect taxon. These bugs are useful predators of leaf beetles of the genus Altica, larvae of various beetles and caterpillars of moths, and it also feeds on plants. The study emphasizes the use of DNA barcodes for the identification of Zicrona caerulea and to represent an important step in building-up a comprehensive barcode library for the true bugs. As part of our study we analyzed DNA barcodes of Zicrona caerulea isolated from Kerala and its phylogenetic status with other related taxonomic groups. The PCR amplified cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene (COI) partial sequence of Zicrona caerulea has 1.11% difference to that of Zicrona caerulea (GenBank Accession: GQ292256) of Seoul, Korea and 1.68% difference to Zicrona caerulea (KM023126) Bremen, Germany.
