Abstract
The genus Pangora Moore (1879) is endemic to south Asia, with four known species distributed in India, Sri Lanka, and Nepal. The current study offers the scientific community the first mitochondrial genome sequence of the known species Pangora matherana (Moore). The phenotypic and phylogenetic tree analysis reveals a new species, Pangora keralaensis Abhilash & Adarsh sp. nov., from India. The male genitalia and morphological analysis of the new taxa are also provided. A preliminary phylogenetic tree based on the mt COI DNA sequence is also provided for the new species and the known species, Pangora matherana (Moore, 1879).
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity (previous title was Journal of Korean Nature) is an official journal of National Science Museum of Korea (NSMK) and Korea National Arboretum (KNA). The scope of journal is wide and multidisciplinary that publishes original research papers, review articles, as well as conceptual, technical and methodological papers on all aspects of biological diversity-its description, analysis and conservation, and its application by humankind. This wide and multidisciplinary journal aims to provide both scientists and practitioners in conservation theory, policy and management with comprehensive and applicable information. However, papers should not be submitted that deal with microorganisms, except in invited paper. Articles that are focused on the social and economical aspects of biodiversity will be normally not accepted.
