Molecular phylogenetic analysis of the Amiota taurusata species group within the Chinese species, with descriptions of two new species

The relationships among six species of the Amiota taurusata Takada, Beppu, & Toda (Diptera: Drosophilidae) species group were investigated based on DNA sequence data of the mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 ( ND2 ) gene, using three species of the genus Amiota as outgroups. A mitochondr...

Descripción
Sumario:The relationships among six species of the Amiota taurusata Takada, Beppu, & Toda (Diptera: Drosophilidae) species group were investigated based on DNA sequence data of the mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 ( ND2 ) gene, using three species of the genus Amiota as outgroups. A mitochondrial gene, cytochrome c oxidase I ( COI ), can be used to discriminate between species of the taurusata group. Two new species are described from South China: A . protuberantis Shao et Chen, sp. nov. and A . shennongi Shao et Chen, sp. nov. A key to all the species of the taurusata group based on morphological characters is provided.
