FAR is an African species complex comprising insect pests of great economic interest and obscure species limits. Here, we report the mitochondrial genomes of two members of the FAR complex, namely and the recently characterized . A phylogenetic analysis based on PCGs of available Tephritidae mitogenomes is presented. The current mitochondrial sequences from the FAR complex could contribute toward the resolution of phylogenetic relationships and species limits within this taxonomically challenging group, which is also an important issue for the development of environment-friendly and species-specific control methods, such as the sterile insect technique (SIT).
FAR是一个非洲物种复合体,由具有重大经济意义且物种界限模糊的害虫组成。在此,我们报告了FAR复合体的两个成员的线粒体基因组,即 和最近鉴定的 。本文基于实蝇科现有线粒体基因组的编码基因进行了系统发育分析。目前来自FAR复合体的线粒体序列有助于解决这一分类学上具有挑战性的类群内的系统发育关系和物种界限问题,这也是开发诸如不育昆虫技术(SIT)等环境友好型和物种特异性控制方法的一个重要问题。
