Additional record of the little known xylophagous endemic wood roach Salganea rehni Roth, 1979 (Blattodea, Blaberidae, Panesthiinae) from the Western Ghats, India with its DNA barcode

Abstract

The paper presents the record of the poorly known endemic species of wood roach from India after a gap of almost 40 years. In India, discernible work has been done on the DNA barcode of cockroaches including the genus Salganea. This work forms the first mitochondrial DNA barcode for the species Salganea rehni Roth, 1979.
