The Proclossiana eunomia (Esper, 1799) complex is currently composed of the several subspecies distributed throughout Palaearсtic region and North America. Despite the fact that some of the taxa have differences in wing pattern and body size, previous assumptions on taxonomy not supported by molecular data. Therefore, the identity of certain popula...

... Standard DNA-barcode (658 bp fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene (COI)) was used as a molecular marker. COI barcodes were analysed using approaches described previously (Shapoval et al. 2017;Yakovlev et al. 2018). Sequencing of the double-stranded product was carried out at the Research Resource Center for Molecular and Cell Technologies (Saint-Petersburg State University). ...
On the basis of the characters of external morphology and analysis of DNA barcodes, an isolated population of the Arctic Apollo, Parnassius arcticus (Eisner, 1968) (Lepidoptera, Papilionidae), from the Momsky Range mountains (northeastern Yakutia, Russia) is described here as a new subspecies, Parnassius arcticus arbugaevi Yakovlev & Shapoval, subsp. nov. The taxonomy, distribution, ecology, and biotopical preferences of the nominotypical P. arcticus and the new subspecies are discussed
... We used a sequence of the pierid Leptidea juvernica (Linnaeus, 1758) from Kaliningrad region (GenBank accession number MT210323) as an outgroup to root the phylogram. The data set of COI barcodes was analysed as described previously (Shapoval et al. 2017, Yakovlev et al. 2018. A Bayesian approach was used for estimating the phylogeny. ...
Colias palaeno (Linnaeus, 1761) is reported from Altai Krai for the first time. The DNA barcode of the collected specimen was analysed and compared with molecular data on European populations of C. palaeno available in the public databases GenBank (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) and BOLD (http://www.boldsystems.org). The molecular analysis has shown that the specimen from Altai Krai shares mitochondrial barcode with some specimens from mountain populations of the Alps and the Czech Republic, and differs significantly from lowland populations of C. palaeno from Central and Northern Europe.

We used a combination of morphological data (genitalia structure) and a molecular marker (a 658bp fragment of the COI gene) to demonstrate that carpenter moth populations from central and southern Morocco, previously identified as Cossus cossus (Linnaeus, 1758) based on external morphology, represent a new species, described herein as C. romantsovi Yakovlev & Shapoval, sp. n. The genetic divergence of the new species with respect to other members of genus Cossus is significant and includes at least 23 fixed nucleotide substitutions in the 658 bp of the COI barcode.
... Contrary to the findings of Yakovlev et al. [92], our results confirm a high degree of phylogeographic structure within the Boloria eunomia Eurasian range. A high within-range genetic differentiation can be observed in other habitat specialist butterflies, for instance the semimigratory species of grasslands Hesperia comma (Linnaeus, 1758) [93], the open-woodland specialist Parnassius mnemosyne (Linnaeus, 1758) [94], the polycentric dry grassland species Melitaea cinxia (Linnaeus, 1758) [95] or the steppic Proterebia afra (Fabricius, 1787) [96]. ...
Pleistocene glaciations had significant effects on the distribution and evolution of species inhabiting the Holarctic region. Phylogeographic studies concerning the entire region are still rare. Here, we compared global phylogeographic patterns of one boreo-montane and one boreo-temperate butterflies with largely overlapping distribution ranges across the Northern Hemisphere, but with different levels of range fragmentation and food specialization. We reconstructed the global phylogeographic history of the boreo-montane specialist Boloria eunomia (n = 223) and of the boreo-temperate generalist Boloria selene (n = 106) based on mitochondrial and nuclear DNA markers, and with species distribution modelling (SDM). According to the genetic structures obtained, both species show a Siberian origin and considerable split among populations from Nearctic and Palaearctic regions. According to SDMs and molecular data, both butterflies could inhabit vast areas during the moderate glacials. In the case of B. selene, high haplotype diversity and low geographic structure suggest long-lasting interconnected gene flow among populations. A stronger geographic structuring between populations was identified in the specialist B. eunomia, presumably due to the less widespread, heterogeneously distributed food resources, associated with cooler and more humid climatic conditions. Populations of both species show opposite patterns across major parts of North America and in the case of B. eunomia also across Asia. Our data underline the relevance to cover entire distribution ranges to reconstruct the correct phylogeographic history of species.
... However, in 2018 R.V. Yakovlev and his co-authors revealed little congruence between previous interpretations of different subspecies of B. eunomia based mainly on geographical distribution or relatively minor morphological characters with molecular data, including B. e. exspectata from the North Caucasus. Based on the analysis of DNA barcodes they mentioned that molecular data provide evidence to support a monotypic species hypothesis rather than the recognition of several subspecific forms, with the exception of B. e. riamia Korshunov et Ivonin, 1998 from Siberia in Russia [Yakovlev et al., 2018]. But these authors didn't analyze B. e. tenera due to the absence of the available fresh material of this subspecies. ...
We described a new cossid species, Dyspessa ulgen sp. nov. from the Tarbagatai and Altai Mountains and compared it to other taxa of Dyspessa reported from the region (D. tristis, D. saldaitisi, D. saissanica), as well as to morphologically similar D. ulula. The new species is most closely related to D. ulula but differs from the latter in the characteristics of the male genitalia, wing pattern, and molecular data (a 658 bp fragment of the mitochondrial COI gene).
