Molecular Phylogenetics and Mitochondrial Genomic Evolution in the Endemic Genus Pielomastax (Orthoptera: Eumastacoidea) in China

These phylogenetic tree results indicate that <i>Pielomastax</i> sp. and <i>Pielomastax shennongjiaensis</i> are the same species. And the time-calibrated phylogeny tree and the species distribution map of the genus <i>Pielomastax</i> indicate that the species of the genus <i>Pielomastax</i> spread from eastern to central China and diversified. These studies fill the gap in molecular data for the genus <i>Pielomastax</i> and the taxonomic status of Episactidae.
