- Researchers analyzed COI barcodes from 22 specimens of Q. molochinus and found three distinct clades with significant genetic differences, indicating potential separate species.
- Preliminary investigations of the aedeagal internal sac did not show major variations across these clades, which contrasts with similar studies in other beetles where such traits are key for identifying cryptic species.
- Further research involving DNA barcoding, nuclear DNA markers, and detailed examinations of the endophallus is needed to understand the genetic diversity within Q. molochinus, along with new illustrations and distribution data provided in the study.
