Objective To evaluate the feasibility of DNA barcoding applied to the identification of flies in Fujian province, China, and to set up the nucleic acid sequence database for flies in Fujian. Methods Sixty-four fly specimens belonging to 19 species, 13 genera, and 4 families were collected from Fujian. Genomic DNA was extracted from the flies. Mitochondrial COⅠ gene was amplified by consensus primer PCR and sequenced. Sequence alignment and evolutionary divergence were performed, and a neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree was constructed based on these sequences. Results Intraspecific divergence ranged between 0-3.32%; interspecific divergence ranged between 5.26%-18.30%, except for Lucilia cuprina and Lucilia sericata, which had only 0.69% divergence from each other. The result of phylogenetic tree showed that sequences from the same species gathered closely with each other. The reliability of Bootstrap test was all above 96%. Conclusion DNA barcoding can be effectively used to identify some flies in Fujian province. It can be used as an efficient method supplementary to morphological identification.

【Abstract】 Objective To explore the value of isozyme zymograms in the classification of blackflies and accumulate basic biochemical data for the study of phylogenesis. Methods EST isozymes of three blackfly species were studied by discontinuous PAGE techniques. Results Ten isozyme bands could be identified according to the electrophoresis zymograms. The differences of zymograms were significant between three blackfly species and each species had its own special zymogram. The main band among intraspecific individuals or between the larvae and pupae was alike， however， other enzyme bands were different. Conclusion EST isozyme zymograms could be used as one of the classification characteristics of blackflies.
