Abstract: This study collected Harischia complex species in regions of China, using DNA barcoding for species identification. The results showed: the mean interspecific genetic distance was 2.8 times larger than the mean intraspecific genetic distance, with existing distinct “DNA barcoding gap”. Based on Automatic Barcode Gap Discovery genetic distance was analyzed, and it was related with distributed frequency. The results of Neighbor joining tree analysis pointed that 87.5% of the species were distinguished, and it kept conformed to morphological identification. Our results produced basal data for exploring the utility of DNA barcoding in species identification of Harischia complex, and provided abundant material for filling up the Chinese DNA barcodes database of Chironomidae.

Key words: Harischia complex, DNA barcoding, species identification, genetic distance
