The genus Archips is a large group of the family Tortricidae, which includes 136 species in the world. In Korea, 17 species of the genus Archips have been reported up to date. The genus has difficulty in morphological classification with the species because of the sexual dimorphism between male and female. However, the study of the genus Archips with the morphological differences of both sexes has not been studied in Korea. Also, some species are known to pests of agricultural and ornamental plants.
In this study, adult and genitalic structure are examined and illustrated. Also, the distributional ranges and collecting localities are provided. And the additional molecular data is necessary because of the ambiguous external characters. So, the result of the DNA barcoding were added.
This study was conducted to present the preliminary list of the genus Archips in Korea. The genus Archips is a large group of the family Tortricidae, which includes 102 species in the world. In Korea, 18 species of the genus Archips have been reported up to date. The genus has difficulty in morphological classification with the species because of the sexual dimorphism between male and female. However, the study of the genus Archips with the morphological differences of both sexes has not been studied in Korea. In this study, the preliminary list including the synonymic list, host plants and distributional ranges was provided for the further study of the genus Archips in Korea.
This study was carried out to clarify the taxonomic status position between two species, Archips audax and A. asiaticus of the family Tortricidae, which have been confused due in their very similar character in appearance. For the reason, A. asiaticus has been treated as junior of A. audax in Korea until now (Park and Byun, 1989). Also, it has been known as synonym of A. audax too in Japan (Suzuki and Komai, 1984). However, in China A. asiaticus has been listed as a valid species (Park et al,. 2014). The aim of this study is to clarify the taxonomic differences between the two species with DNA barcoding. We conducted the tree with the result of DNA barcoding by using MAGA 6. A. audax and A. asiaticus build in different clade and distance was 0.02. In this study, we extracted COI gene for DNA barcode and analyzed the sequences using MEGA 6. Also, genitalic dissection and observation of morphology were conducted. As the result, we have to treated A. asiaticus is valid species.
과거 우리나라산으로 기록은 있었으나 표본확인이 되지 않아 현재까지도 그 분포여부가 불확실해왔던 잎말이나방과의 2종, Archips dichotomus Falkovitsh와 Eana argentana(Clerk)에 대한 확인을 위해 최근 체코과학원 국립곤충연구소에 소장되어 있는 북한산 표본을 입수, 검경하여 이들의 분포기록을 정리하였다. 동시에 외부형태 및 생식기의 특징을 간략한 재기재 밍 도해와 함께 보고한다.
