Phylogenetic analysis of Gonipterus platensis based on Cytochrome Oxidase subunit I (COI) sequence. The phylogenetic tree was constructed using the maximum likelihood method. Bootstrap resampling method with 1,000 repetitions was applied to assess the reliability of the branches. Customization of the tree was done using FigTree software. Coccinella septempunctata was used as the outgroup (*). The GenBank accession numbers of the submitted COI sequences are PQ670295 (PY1) and PQ670296 (PY2). Diamonds represent PY1 and PY2 specimens collected at Maciel district.
