Twenty-five samples of Bulimulus species are studied, partly from localities within their known distribution range, partly based on interceptions where the material originates from localities where the species seem to be recently introduced and non-native. Molecular study of cytochrome oxidase 1 (CO1) reveals the origin of some of these introductions, but is less conclusive for others. Four different methods for species delimitation were applied, which did not result in unambiguous species hypotheses. For a rapid identification of morphologically indistinct species, a more comprehensive database of sequences is needed.

Ochthebius (Ochthebius) lobiccoastal habitatsollis Rey, 1885 is recorded for the first time from the Iberian Peninsula (Girona) and the island of Corsica; new records are also given for the islands of Menorca and Sardinia. The species is known only from coastal habitats through the Gulf of Lion and the Ligurian and Balearic seas, typically living in rockpools of different salinity or small trickles or freshwater runoffs. Genetic data of the cytochrome oxidase 1 gene from Iberian, Menorcan and Sardinian specimens shows less than 1% divergence, suggesting lack of isolation between populations.

The life cycle of Parasitengona includes major morphological changes precluding an instar association based only on the morphology. This makes rearing and/or molecular data necessary to associate the heteromorphic instars. Most of the described species are known from either post larval instars or larva. Following a previous study on Palearctic Erythraeidae, in the present study the instar association was made through an integrative approach including rearing trials and molecular analysis of the cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene with the Bayesian Generalized Mixed Yule Coalescent (bGMYC) algorithm for species delimitation. Two new cave dwelling Erythraeidae (Trombidiformes: Parasitengona) species are described Lasioerythraeus jessicae sp. nov. and Leptus sidorchukae sp. nov. including all active instars. Additionally, a complete description of the previously unknown adults of Charletonia rocciai Treat & Flechtmann, 1979 is provided with notes on the larva and deutonymph. We also demonstrate experimentally that Ch. rocciai larvae are not attached to the same individual host during the entire feeding stage. We discuss the presence of troglomorphisms in Le. sidorchukae sp. nov.; and the distribution of the species.

AbstractThe large-clawed scorpion, Scorpio maurus, is a medically important scorpion and yet nothing is known regarding genetic diversity within this species. As a preliminary analysis we determined variation within the cytochrome oxidase 1 (CO1) mitochondrial gene from specimens from Morocco. High levels of genetic diversity were found that presented some geographical coherence. Of the two identified subspecies from Morocco, S. maurus birulai and S. maurus fuliginosus, the latter included genetically distinct lineages (8.0% uncorrected sequence divergence), indicating a detailed morphological and molecular revision is needed for this species.

Abstract Bombycidae, Saturniidae, mtDNA RFLP, Cytochrome Oxidase I Gene The phylogenetic relationships between Bombyx mori and Bombyx mandarina species of Bombycidae, and Antheraea yamamai and Antheraea pernyi species of Saturniidae were investigated based on mtDNA RFLP and cytochrome oxidase I gene. The sizes of the mtDNA of all the species were estimated at approximately 16 kbp ± 500 bp by total length of all the restricted fragments and no variation in size was recognized. Of the fourteen different restriction endonucleases used, BamHl, Hindlll, Pstl, EcoRl and Xbal showed RFLP. Among these, only Hindlll showed RFLP between B. mori and B. mandarina. A comparative analysis of sequences was also conducted with the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I genes of each species. The results indicated that B. mori shared a 97% , 85% and 87% sequence identity with B. mandarina, A. yamamai and A. pernyi, respectively. B. mandarina shared a 87% and 88% sequence identity with A. yamamai and A. penyi, respectively. A. yamamai shared 92% sequence identity with A. pernyi. The results of the phylogenetic analysis exhib­ited monophyly and confidence limits of more than 99% in all trees for both Bombycidae and Saturniidae.

Roesma D. I, Tjong D. H, Karlina W, Aidil D. R. 2019. Taxonomy confirmation of Puntius cf. binotatus from Gunung Tujuh Lake based on Cytochrome Oxidase-I (COI) gene. Biodiversitas 20: 54-60. The population of Puntius cf. binotatus Gunung Tujuh Lake in considered as an isolated population which found in the 20-30 meters depth under the water Gunung Tujuh Lake, Sumatra Island. The species often exhibit different phenotypic characters and may genetic characters may also different due to their response to habitat/ecological conditions. Previous study on P. binotatus from several locations in West Sumatra showed the complexity of the genetic and morphological characters. A molecular study using COI gene of P. cf. binotatus from Gunung Tujuh Lake in Sumatera has been conducted to determine the taxonomic status of the fish. The distinct morphological characters of Puntius cf. binotatus is one black spot in the middle of the caudal and the absent of black spot on the base of the anterior dorsal ray. The analysis on COI gene showed that the range of sequence divergences between P. cf. binotatus Gunung Tujuh Lake and other Sumatra P. cf. binotatus is 3.1-7.6% and 4.1% to Barbodes banksi. This value represents the differences at the subspecies level of Barbodes banksi. Therefore Barbodes banksi gunungtujuh is proposed as an appropriate name to P. cf. binotatus Gunung Tujuh Lake.

Ikan tiger fish (Datnioides sp.) merupakan ikan hias air tawar yang memiliki nilai ekonomis penting. Distribusi populasi ikan ini meliputi Papua, Kalimantan, dan Sumatera, dengan tingkat eksploitasi yang cukup tinggi di dua lokasi terakhir. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mendapatkan informasi keragaman genetik ikan tiger fish yang mendiami perairan Kalimantan dan Sumatera. Sebanyak 24 sampel ikan uji dikoleksi dari Sungai Kapuas, Kalimantan Barat dan Sungai Musi, Sumatera Selatan. Penelitian dilakukan dalam dua tahap, tahap pertama yaitu identifikasi molekuler dengan menggunakan DNA barcoding gen cytochrome oxidase 1 (COI), tahap kedua adalah analisis keragaman genetik dengan menggunakan marka DNA mitokondria gen cytochrome b (Cyt b), dan DNA inti gen recombination activating gene (RAG2). Hasil identifikasi secara molekuler menunjukkan bahwa ikan hasil koleksi memiliki kesamaan genetik sebesar 100% dengan spesies D. undecimradiatus. Keragaman genetik ikan tiger fish antar populasi berkisar pada nilai 0,023 (standar deviasi 0,001) sedangkan keragaman intra populasi adalah sebesar 0,002 dan 0,003 masing-masing untuk populasi Kalimantan dan Sumatera. Jarak genetik sampel baik yang berasal dari Sumatera maupun Kalimantan dengan spesies D. undeciumradiatus masing-masing 0,003 dan 0,006; sedangkan dengan spesies D. microlepis yaitu 0,142. Analisis menggunakan gen RAG2 menunjukkan sampel yang diuji memiliki struktur populasi yang terpisah ditandai dengan terjadinya mutasi pada enam nukleotida dan tiga asam amino.The Tiger fish (Datnioides sp.) is a freshwater ornamental fish that has important economic value. The distribution of this fish included Papua, Kalimantan, and Sumatra, but intensive exploitation occurs in the last two population. This research was conducted to obtain the genetic diversity of tiger fish that inhabited in Kalimantan and Sumatra. A total of 24 fish were collected from Kapuas River, West Kalimantan and Musi River, at Sumatra. The study was conducted in two stages, the first stage is molecular identification of sample by using DNA barcoding cytochrome oxidase 1 (COI) gene, the second stage is analyses of genetic diversity of tiger fish within and between population by using the mitochondrial DNA cytochrome b (Cyt b) gene, and nucleus DNA recombination (RAG2) gene. The molecular identification has shown that the collected fish has a genetic similarity of 100% with D. undecimradiatus. The genetic diversity of tiger fish between populations is 0.023 (standard deviation of 0.001) whereas intra-population is 0.002 and 0.003 for Kalimantan and Sumatra, respectively. The genetic distance of samples with species D. undeciumradiatus were 0.003 and 0.006 for Kalimantan and Sumatera, respectively, whereas the genetic distance with D. microlepis was 0.142. The analysis of mutation on RAG2 gene shows there are six nucleotides and three amino acids have mutation.
