Morphological characteristics, including male and female genitalia, combined with DNA barcodes were used to identify 470 Anaplecta specimens sampled from China. Ten Anaplecta species are new to science, including three cryptic species: A. paraomei Zhu & Che, sp. nov., A. condensa Zhu & Che, sp. nov., and A. longihamata Zhu & Che, sp. nov., which are distinguished mainly by their female genitalia. The other seven new species are as follows: A. bicruris Zhu & Che, sp. nov., A. spinosa Zhu & Che, sp. nov., A. ungulata Zhu & Che, sp. nov., A. anomala Zhu & Che, sp. nov., A. serrata Zhu & Che, sp. nov., A. bombycina Zhu & Che, sp. nov., and A. truncatula Zhu & Che, sp. nov. This study illustrates that differences in female genitalia can be used to distinguish among species of Anaplecta. The female genitalia of 19 Chinese Anaplecta species are described and illustrated in this paper.
ABGD, Anaplecta omei, cryptic species, DNA barcodes, female genitalia
The genus Anaplecta, has been attributed to the superfamily Blattoidea (
Therefore, it is necessary to find new morphological characters to identify Anaplecta species. Although female genitalia were considered to have fewer useful morphological characters in the taxonomy of cockroaches,
In the present study, we use DNA barcodes combined with morphological characteristics, including male and female genitalia, to comprehensively analyze and identify 470 samples of Anaplecta, and to determine whether the samples from Libo, Dushan, Mt. Wuliang should be treated as cryptic species.
We examined 470 Anaplecta specimens, including 165 females. The measurements are based on examined specimens. The genitalia were soaked in 10% NaOH at 65 °C for 30–35 minutes, then rinsed with distilled water. All segments were dissected and observed in glycerol with a Motic K400 stereomicroscope or a Leica M205A stereomicroscope. Photographs were taken with a Leica M205A stereomicroscope, and edited with Adobe Photoshop CS6. All type materials are deposited at the Institute of Entomology, College of Plant Protection, Southwest University, Chongqing, China (SWU).
The terminology for body, male, and female genitalia mainly follows
CuA cubitus anterior;
CuP cubitus posterior;
L1, L2, L3 sclerites of the left phallomere;
L2d L2 dorsal;
L2v L2 ventral;
L2vm median sclerite;
M media;
R1, R2, R3 sclerites of the right phallomere.
A total of 38 specimens was used for COI sequencing in this study. Total DNA was extracted from the muscles of the thorax and legs according to the Hipure Tissue DNA MiniKit. Primers for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were COI-F3 (5’-CAACYAATCATAAAGANATTGGAAC-3’) and COI-R3 (5’-TAAACTTCTGGRTGACCAAARAATCA-3’). The thermal cycling conditions were as follows: initial denaturation 2 min at 98 °C, followed by 35 cycles of 10 s at 98 °C, 10 s, annealing at 49–50 °C, 15 s extension at 72 °C, and a final extension of 2 min at 72 °C; the samples were then held at 8 °C. The PCR products were sequenced by Tsingke (Beijing, China). All sequences were deposited in GenBank with the following accession numbers OL790028-OL790065 (Table

Observing the external morphological characters and male genitalia of 470 samples of Anaplecta, we could easily identify 17 morphospecies. We found there were some differences in the samples from Libo (GZ4), Dushan (GZ2), Mt. Wuliang (SP4), and other regions where samples were initially identified as Anaplecta omei. In terms of color, the sample from Libo (GZ4) was grayish brown while those from other regions were mostly yellowish brown (CQ2, GZ2, SP4) (Figs

In this study, we acquired 38 COI sequences of Anaplecta species. The ML phylogenetic tree showed that males and females of the same morphospecies form monophyletic groups (Fig.
Maximum Likelihood tree derived from COI sequences analyzed with a GTR+I+G model and with 1000 bootstrap replicates. The numbers at nodes are bootstrap values, the sex of the specimens is given in brackets (we checked the voucher specimens of the published sequences to determine whether they were males or females), the red bar indicated morphospecies, the blue bar indicated MOTUs in ABGD (P = 0.0046).
The results of species delimitation by ABGD were nearly consistent with those by morphological identification (Fig.
