A New Record of Simuliidae Found by DNA Barcoding in Guizhou Province
Objective:To identify blackfly species with combined data of DNA barcodes and morpho-logical characteristics. Methods:Blackflies were collected with a vehicle-mounted trap on July to Sep-tember of 2014 at Leishan,Jiangkou,Dejiang,Guanling,and Kaiyang counties in Guizhou Province, and preliminary morphological identification was performed. Female simulium DNA barcode sequence was detected. Barcode of Life Data Systems( BOLD)and phylogenetic analysis methods were adopted to identify blackfly species. Results:It was preliminarily determined that the threshold value of K2P distance in differentiating Simulium blackfly species and 153 Simulium( Gomphostilbia)asakoae indi-viduals were identified with BOLD and the threshold value. Conclusion:S. ( G. )asakoae is a new record of blackfly,distributing at Leishan,Jiangkou,Dejiang,Guanling,and Kaiyang in Guizhou Province.
