约240年前，在印度科罗曼德尔地区发现了一种叫Pygospila tyres的物种，该物种隶属于具有巨大重要性的Crambitae科。该种在形态上是神秘的，并已知在该属下有10个现存种。早些时候，该物种的mt DNA条形码来自巴基斯坦、韩国和澳大利亚，这里我们报告了来自其模式所在地的国家的第一个该物种的条形码。提供了具有雄性和雌性生殖器的标本的形态细节，以供分类鉴定。讨论了该属的mt COI DNA序列在GenBank中的同一性。
The species Pygospila tyres was described from the Coromandel region of India about 240 years ago, accommodated in the family Crambidae having immense importance. The species is morphologically cryptic and is known to have 10 extant species under the genus. Earlier mt DNA Barcodes for the species were available from Pakistan, Korea, and Australia, here we report the first barcode of the species from the country of its type locality. Morphological details for the collections with the male and female genitalia are provided for the taxonomic identification. Identities of the mt COI DNA sequences for the genus in the GenBank are discussed.
