In the resulted alignment of 482-pb fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase subunit I (COI) gene, we identified 4 singleton variable sites. Three haplotypes were identified:
H1 (ANA1436 B 1 male), H2 (ANA1438 B 3 male) and H3 (ANA1441 B 5 female). Intraspecific genetic distances between the analyzed specimens using K2P model is 0,6%. All observed nucleotide substitutions were synonymous and did not have differences in amino acid sequence.
The reported intraspecific genetic distances for the two species of Montesauria described in the present study are comparable with genetic distances found in other related mites like
Proterothrix chachulae (0.8%) ( Constantinescu et al. 2017) also belonging to the subfamily
Pterodectinae and distributed the Oriental Region.
