Abstract :
Hepialus is the host of Cordyceps sinensis which is a well-known and valuable Traditional Chinese Medicine. The mitochondrial genes of Cytochrome Oxidase Subunit I (CO I), Cytochrome Oxidase Subunit II (CO II) and Cytochrome b (Cytb) were cloned from Hepialus in partial areas of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The sequences were analysed, and the molecular phylogenetic trees were constructed. The results showed that the CO I, CO II and Cytb genes could be used as molecular markers to distinguish Hepialus species from different geographical regions.
