Even though the high plateaus of Qinghai-Tibet and Iran share many faunal elements, the historical biogeography of the species present in this area are not very well understood. We present a complete COI barcode library for Aporia Hübner and a first comprehensive phylogeny for the genus including all known species and majority of subspecies using ten available genes (COI-COII, ND1, ND5, Cytb, EF-1a, Wg, 16S, 28S-D2/D3 and 28S-D8). We then focus on A. leucodice (Eversmann, 1843) and related taxa in order to resolve some long-standing taxonomic issues in this species-group. Based on DNA sequence data as well as morphology, we raise Aporia illumina (Grum-Grshimailo 1890) stat. nov. (= pseudoillumina Tshikolovets 2021 syn. nov.) as a distinct species and designate a lectotype; synonymize Aporia leucodice leucodice Eversmann, 1843 (= A. l. morosevitshae Sheljuzhko, 1908 syn. nov.); and describe a new species, Aporia ahura sp. nov., from the Central Alborz Mountains in northern Iran.
尽管青藏高原和伊朗的高地有许多相似的动物区系成分,但该地区物种的历史生物地理学还不是很清楚。我们提供了 Aporia Hübner 的完整 COI 条码文库,以及包括所有已知物种和大多数亚种的该属的首次全面系统发育,使用了 10 个可用基因(COI-COII、ND1、ND5、Cytb、EF-1a、Wg、16S、28S-D2/D3 和 28S-D8)。然后,我们专注于 A. leucodice (Eversmann, 1843) 及其相关分类群,以解决该物种群中长期存在的分类问题。基于 DNA 序列数据和形态学,我们提出了一个新种,Aporia illumina (Grum-Grshimailo 1890) stat. nov.(= pseudoillumina Tshikolovets 2021 syn. nov.),并指定了一个模式标本;将 Aporia leucodice leucodice Eversmann, 1843(= A. l. morosevitshae Sheljuzhko, 1908 syn. nov.)同义化;并描述了一个来自伊朗北部中央阿尔伯兹山脉的新种,Aporia ahura sp. nov.。
