Molecular Phylogeny and DNA Barcoding of the Genus Arhopala Boisduval, 1832 (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) from Northwest India
The genus Arhopala (Lycaenidae: Theclinae) is one of the most diverse groups of butterflies in the Oriental region, yet molecular data for Indian species remain limited. In this study, we sequenced the mitochondrial Cytochrome Oxidase I (COI) gene from five species collected in Northwestern India: Arhopala amantes (Hew...
