Molecular phylogeny of<i>Allodia</i>(<scp>Diptera</scp>:<scp>Mycetophilidae</scp>) constructed using genome skimming

In this study, we use low-coverage shotgun sequencing of genomic DNA, commonly referred to as genome skimming, investigate the phylogenetic relationships fungus gnat genus Allodia Winnertz (Mycetophilidae, Mycetophilinae, Exechiini). Nineteen specimens, representing 16 in-group and three outgroup taxa, were successfully sequenced molecular markers both mitochondrial nuclear origin retrieved. The analyses 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal genes 18S 28S strongly support monophyly its subgenera s.s. Brachycampta. Complete genomes 15 species assembled, which enables further comparisons with other Diptera. Overall, methodology used in study proved successful promising for dipteran groups. addition reconstruction, morphological characters previously separate evaluated re-examined. Together composite structure male genitalia, consider details scutal bristles appropriate separating Based on achieved results, reinstate Brachycampta stat. rev. a genus.
