  abstract = {{B}ecause correct identification of insects is crucial for pest management involving chemical or biological control agents, we have used a molecular approach to identify and characterize specimens of the cotton pest {P}henacoccus solenopsis {T}insley ({S}ternorrhyncha: {P}seudococcidae) present in different regions of {P}akistan. {T}he specimens were analyzed through {DNA} sequence analysis of their mitochondrial {COI} (mt{COI}) gene using an improved procedure that could distinguish between the pest and its associated parasitoid. {O}ur analysis showed no variation among the mealybug specimens from different geographical locations of {P}akistan and confirmed that this is the same species and haplotype that is infesting cotton plants in other parts of {A}sia. {T}his information will assist in the development of biological control programs against {P}. solenopsis in {P}akistan and other {A}sian countries.},
