FIGURE 62 in Empria longicornis species group: taxonomic revision with notes on phylogeny and ecology (Hymenoptera, Tenthredinidae)

FIGURE 62. Variable positions of 3' end of ITS1 (about 350–400 bp), which might serve as a barcoding marker for E. longicornis species group. The closest outgroup in the dataset (E. immersa group) is also shown. Among duplicate sequences within this region, only one is shown and the number of duplicates is given. This ITS1 region is downstream of a repetitive region (consisting of 10–12 T nucleotides within E. longicornis group), which hinders sequencing. Apomorphic characters for species are shown within boxes. Note that there are no apomorphies for E. tridens (even within complete ITS1 and ITS2). For E. basalis, there is a single apomorphy (shown here) within complete ITS1 and ITS2 sequences. Because only one specimen of E. alpina, E. loktini, and E. minuta has been sequenced, the indicated apomorphies for these species are tentative. There are no sequences of this region yet available for E. mongolica.
