Genetic and morphometric differentiation between two morphs of Haematobosca sanguinolenta (Diptera: Muscidae) from Thailand.

ABSTRACT: Haematobosca is a genus of biting fly within the subfamily Stomoxyinae of the family Muscidae. It is currently recognized to include 16 species worldwide. These species, acting as ectoparasites, are considered to have significant importance in the veterinary and medical fields. To address the color polymorphism related to the genus Haematobosca in Thailand, herein, we focused on the normal (legs mainly black) and yellow (legs mainly yellow) morphs of Haematobosca sanguinolenta and examined them for genetic differences using three molecular markers: the cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) and cytochrome b (cytb) genes from the mitochondrial genome as well as the internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) region from the nuclear ribosomal DNA.
