Resumen
NINAHUANCA, A; ARTEAGA, D y LUNA, R. Identificación de tricópteros de altura de Bolivia y Perú mediante el código de barras del ADN. BAG, J. basic appl. genet. [online]. 2013, vol.24, n.2, pp.76-82. ISSN 1852-6233.
Order Trichoptera includes some of the biomarker insects most studied at the genetic level because of their usefulness and distribution in freshwater systems. In the absence of morpho-anatomical features to distinguish larvae of these species of highland Peru and Bolivia, here we propose the use of sequences of the CO-I gene (DNA Barcode) for molecular taxonomic identification. This is the first study of the CO-I sequences in Trichoptera larvae of Western and Eastern Cordillera of Bolivia and Cordillera Blanca of Peru. With Kimura's two-parameter model, we identified genera Anomalocosmoecus, Cailloma and Antarctoecia. More detailed analysis of the sequenced DNA Barcode suggests the existence of a suborder and two species of Antarctoecia in the Western Cordillera of Bolivia. More studies are needed to provide further support to this hypothesis.
