Abstract

The systematic relationships of Philippine rice black bugs (RBBs), Scotinophara spp. was inferred using nonmetric multidimensional scaling technique (MDSCALE) and parsimony analysis to determine patterns of variation among the species and species groups. The MDSCALE result revealed a very distinct structure with clusters representing species groups visually apparent in the map. The distinct gaps in the phenetic spaces between species groups reflect the ease by which the species can be classified using numerical phenetics. On the contrary, parsimony analysis showed that the species groups did not form monophyletic groups. The results of the study are discussed in the light of patterns of differentiation among the species. It is suggested that more parsimony informative characters should be included to shed light into our basic understanding of the various evolutionary processes involved in the differentiation of these species of black bugs.
