Description:

Figure 35.Interspecific variation of DNA barcodes among species of ACG Euplectrus displayed using the Neighbor-Joining method (Saitou and Nei 1987) with distances computed using the Kimura 2-parameter method (Kimura 1980) conducted in MEGA6 (Tamura et al 2013). When there was more than one sequence available for each species, the representative sequence was selected based on quality (longest read length with the fewest ambiguities). Line labels are the voucher code|species name|host family|number of barcoded specimens in the ACG database at the time of writing. In the two cases where two species have nearly identical barcodes, morphological differences suggest that each pair indeed contains two species, the veracity of which will be the subject of further research when more samples are available.
