Abstract

Mitochondrial Cytochrome oxidase I and II (CO I+II) region was characterized among five sympatric species of the genus Sarcophaga with a view to unravel genetic relationship. Average nucleotide pair wise distance was 0.283, which indicates that these species are genetically very close. The phylogenetic tree obtained by distance and character based method groups S. dux, S. albiceps and S. knabi together in one cluster while S. ruficornis and S. argyrostoma were grouped together in another cluster.
