The First Dna Barcoding Records of Three Evergestis Hubner, [1825] Species in Turkey With Molecular Evaluations (Lepidoptera: Crambidae, Glaphyriinae)

Abstract

Turkish populations of Evergestis nomadalis Lederer, 1870, Evergestis boursini Amsel, 1939, and Evergestis pazukii Alipanah, 2018 were barcoded and presented detailed morphologies for the first time herein. Species delimination of the Evergestis Hubner, [1825] populations were evaluated based on the mitochondrial sitochrom oxidase I subunit gene. In the consensus tree, which was constructed using the neighbor joining, Bayesian inference, and maximum likelihood algorithms, the molecular relationships of genera/tribus in the subfamily Glaphyriinae were shown with some evaluations.
