Objective To investigate methods for the morphological and molecular identification of Cheyletus malaccensis and C. carnifex. Methods From May 2018 to July 2019, C. malaccensis and C. carnifex were obtained from the storage samples of some farmers' granaries in several areas of Anhui province. The morphological characteristics of C. malaccensis and C. carnifex were compared and described. MEGA X software was used to analyze mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit Ⅰ (COⅠ) gene sequence for C. malaccensis and C. carnifex, and the maximum likelihood method was used to construct the phylogenetic tree. Results C. malaccensis and C. carnifex had similar morphological characteristics, while morphological identification could be performed under a light microscope based on the shape of peritremes, the morphology of guard seta of tarsus I, and the length-ratio between solenidia and pretarsus of tarsus I. Based on the COⅠ gene, the interspecific genetic distance was >0.02 and the intraspecific genetic distance was <0.02. The base composition analysis showed that the sequence had an obvious A+T bias, and the results of BLAST were consistent with those of morphological identification. Phylogenetic tree showed that C. malaccensis and C. carnifex were clustered into one single branch, respectively. Conclusion Identification of C. malaccensis and C. carnifex can be performed based on the external morphological characteristics and the mitochondrial COⅠ gene, and the combination of these two methods can improve the accuracy of the identification of closely related species.
