Abstract
ABSTRACT
The detail description of the striped flea beetle Phyllotreta striolata (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae : Alticinae ) and a Molecules have been identified in the Erbil city. Samples were gathered by using an Arial insect net to collect from the Capparis spinosa plant during period from 1 / October / 2024 till 22 / November / 2024 . The important characters of species are , mandibles apical parts consist of four tentacles , maxillary palp consists of four segments . The Antennae pale brown- brown consist of 11th antennomers , 1st-5th antennomer pale brown , 5th antennomer 2 times as long as the 6th antennomer , swollen , 11th antennomer oval elongated . The elytra dark brown , middle part pale yellow. Speculum gaster is Y-shaped. Aedeagus is pale brown , tubular-shaped . Pictures of the key parts were included . They show where each sample was found , what plants they were on , and the date they were collected .
The molecular identification discover a 550 bp bands of mitochondrial gene COI , which was amplified with PCR from the Phyllotreta striolata for constructing and distinguish a phylogenetic tree . The COI gene sequences of sample species were aliment insides NCBI GenBank using BLAST programs and used to compare the sequenced nucleotides others Phyllotreta species sequence . The outcome demonstration that obtained sequences was P. striolata identified species based on the mitochondria COI gene . The sequence COI of P. striolata was submitted to GenBank with accession PV123233 .
