Abstract
DNA barcoding based on 23 COI sequences
referable to 16 sequences of 10 species (Anaciaeschna jaspidea, Anax
ephippiger, Anax guttatus, Anax immaculifrons, Anax indicus, Anax
nigrofasciatus nigrolineatus, Anax parthenope, Gynacantha bainbriggei,
Gynacantha bayadera, Gynacantha subinterrupta) of family Aeshnidae and 7
sequences of 4 species (Epophthalmia vittata, Macromia ellisoni, Macromia
flavicincta, Macromia moorei) of family Macromiidae have been done. Tramea
carolina species of the family Libellulidae is considered as out-group. Genetic
divergence among the species of both the families based on variable, parsimony
informative, conserved sites, nucleotide base composition of COI gene fragment
and transversion/transistional bias have been calculated. COI gene sequences of
three species Anax immaculifrons, Anax indicus and Gynacantha bainbriggei of
family Aeshnidae and four species of Epophthalmia vittata, Macromia ellisoni,
Macromia flavicincta and Macromia moorei of family Macromiidae have been
submitted for the first time to NCBI, while sequences of 5 species Anax
ephippiger, Anax guttatus, Anax nigrofasciatus nigrolineatus, Anax parthenope
and Gynacantha subinterrupta matched with corresponding sequences of the
species of family Aeshnidae have been submitted for the first time from India.
