Identifying two moth species (Lepidoptera: Ditrysia) from Saudi Arabia using mitochondrial 16S rRNA sequences

The mitochondrial genetic markers are considered useful tools for discrimination between more closely related lepidopteran taxa. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the role of mitochondrial (mt) 16 s rRNA gene in the determination of the taxonomic position for two moth species within...
