Abstract :

The current study investigated molecular phylogenetic relationship among insects. We have collected Sternolophus sp. from freshwater lake. We have used specific marker COI gene as a tool for amplification. PCR amplified product was purified and sequenced. Phylogenetic tree was constructed using maximum likelihood method, tree showed that all four examples of Sternolophus belong to same species.
