Phylogenetic tree construction in reconfirmation of parasitoid species (Braconidae: Opiinae), reared from fruit flies (Bactrocera papayae) infesting star fruit (Averrhoa carambola) based on mitochondrial 16S rRNA sequences

Opiinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is an important parasitoid of fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae). Accurate identification is needed for them to be effectively used as biological control agents. This study demonstrates the use of molecular phylogenetic analyses to reconfirm the species of Opiinae r...
