Abstract
Two new species, Macropelopia (Macropelopia) excavata Xu & Fu, sp. nov. and Macropelopia (Macropelopia) quadrimacula Xu & Fu, sp. nov., are described as male adults. A key to identify the males of Macropelopia from China is provided. Furthermore, in order to ascertain the genetic distance between these species and their morphological characteristics, mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene sequences were uploaded to the National Center for Biotechnology Information. These COI sequences were then utilized to infer the relationships between the species, employing the neighbor-joining method.
描述了两个新种,Macropelopia (Macropelopia) excavata Xu & Fu, sp.本研究提供了鉴定来自中国的Macropelopia雄虫的检索表。此外,为了确定这些物种之间的遗传距离及其形态特征,将线粒体细胞色素 c 氧化酶亚单位 I 基因序列上传到美国国家生物技术信息中心。然后利用这些 COI 序列,采用邻接法推断物种之间的关系。
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
