Molecular evidence resolving the confusion of two species of Spilopteron (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) caused by marked geographical colour variation
The delimitation of two ichneumonid species, Spilopteron apicale (Matsumura) and S. tosaense (Uchida), was investigated using DNA sequences of the mitochondrial COI and nuclear 28S rRNA genes, as well as adult morphology. The two species have long been confused and were until recently speculated to...
