Discovery and description of male Atrichopogon palmatus based on DNA barcodes
Only females of Atrichopogon palmatus Tokunaga,have been recorded since 1962,while males have never been discovered.Specimens of Atrichopogon palmatus collected in Hainan Island were identified by using DNA barcoding and morphological methods.The DNA barcodes of the specimens were used to establish a phylogenetic tree for analysis,based on which the males were successfully associated with females.The males of A.palmatus collected in Hainan were newly described and illustrated,and their CO I-barcodes were also provided.
