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.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBiyolojiZoolojiArticle
