Analysis of mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences in some butterflies of genus Plebejus Kluk, 1780 (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) of Russian South
The authors studied COI and ITS2 genetic markers in specimens of genus Plebejus. The results reveal sympatric habitation of P. maracandicus and P. argyrognomon in South of European Russia. Significant differences between P. pylaon, P. sephirus, P. zephyrinus and P. zephyrinus ordubadi are shown...

| Summary: | The authors studied COI and ITS2 genetic
markers in specimens of genus Plebejus. The results
reveal sympatric habitation of P. maracandicus and P.
argyrognomon in South of European Russia. Significant
differences between P. pylaon, P. sephirus, P. zephyrinus and
P. zephyrinus ordubadi are shown. Level of distinctions in
primary sequences of mtDNA does not allow to consider
ordubadi as subspecies P. zephyrinus and can also testify
on the independent specific status of this taxon. |
