A new species of the genus Adoxophyes (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) from China based on molecular characters
A new species of Adoxophyes unique from other closely resembling species was discovered based on molecular characters. Larvae of this species were collected from sweet cherry (Prunus avium) imported from China and intercepted under plant quarantine inspection at Korean sea and airport in 2008. They were reared to adult in the laboratory for accurate identification. We also collected two specimens from China for this study. In addition, we conducted a comparative study of three related Korean species (A. orana, A. honmai, and A. paraorana (= orana-like)) to confirm the identity of new species.
We compared DNA barcoding sequences (~658 bp) of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene from 13 specimens of four Adoxophyes species. We also compared variable internal transcribed space region 1 (ITS 1) nuclear rDNA sequence for further identification. As a result of this study, we confirmed the identity of Adoxophyes a new species. We also provided pairwise p-distances among the species and their neighbor-joining tree.
