摘要

Dear Editor, "DNA Barcoding" has emerged as a very efficient tool for species identification of diverse group of animals and plants (Stoeckle & Hebert,2008).This methodology was proposed as a universal approach for species identification about a decade back (Hebert et al,2003).Realizing its importance towards description of global biodiversity,a global consortium of DNA Barcoding of life (CBOL) was launched under the auspices of the Smithsonian Institution,U.S.A.and about 0.175 million species of plants and animals have been DNA barcoded so far,globally (Barcode of life data systems [BOLD]) (Ratnasingham & Hebert,2007).Utility of DNA Barcoding methodology for species identification of economically important insects,the mosquitoes have been recorded (Cywinska et al.,2006;Kumar et al.,2007;Kumar et al.,2009;Rajavel et al.,2015).
