Species delimitation and DNA barcoding for Chinese Mantodea (Insecta, Dictyoptera) [PDF]
ZooKeysDNA barcoding has been proposed as a rapid and reliable tool for animal identification and species delineation. The 5’ end of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I gene (COI-5P) was sequenced for 318 specimens of 55 mantis species.
