Abstract
ABSTRACT Two endemic Australophlebotomus species have been recorded in New Caledonia: Au. notteghemae Léger & Pesson and Au. maduloae Léger & Pesson, as reported in 1993. At that time, the authors mainly based their description on male holotypes, and tentatively associated two different females called ‘A’ and ‘B’ to each male. Very scarce in New Caledonia, these two species have been reported on very few occasions, with specimens coming from various locations of this island. Having now access to two Australophlebotomus females and two Au. notteghemae males caught in 1997 in the Touaourou cave (New Caledonia), our aim was to validate the male-female association in Au. notteghemae and to add to the description of this species. One pair was subjected to a DNA analysis while the other pair was used for morphological studies. Cytochrome b of the mtDNA, and the D1, D2 and D8 domains of the 28S rDNA were sequenced. For each marker, full sequence homology (100%, no mutation) was observed for the processed male and female. Original drawings and new morphological data about Au. notteghemae are provided. Both molecular and morphological evidences strongly associate female ‘A’ to the male Au. notteghemae specimen.
期刊介绍:
The invertebrate diversity of New Zealand is of great interest worldwide because of its geographic isolation and geological history. The New Zealand Entomologist plays an important role in disseminating information on field-based, experimental, and theoretical research.
The New Zealand Entomologist publishes original research papers, review papers and short communications. We welcome submissions in all aspects of science regarding insects and arthropods in a New Zealand or Australasian setting. The journal’s subject matter encompasses taxonomy, phylogenetics, biogeography, biological control and pest management, conservation, ecology and natural history.
The journal is the official publication of the Entomological Society of New Zealand. Papers published or submitted elsewhere for publication will not be considered, but publication of an abstract or summary elsewhere (e.g. conference proceedings) does not preclude full publication in the New Zealand Entomologist. Accepted papers become copyright of the Entomological Society of New Zealand. The journal is published in English, but we also welcome publication of abstracts in Maori.
