TL;DR: The phylogenetic relationships of 27 species of common Indo-Pacific snappers (Lutjanidae) were explored using the 16S ribosomal RNA and cytochrome b mitochondrial genes with minimum evolution, maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference analyses to determine relationships of lutjanid subfamilies.

TL;DR: The DNA “barcode”, the partial sequence of the mitochondrial gene cytochrome C oxidase subunit I (COI), was assessed for species identification within the genus Macolor and showed a genetic divergence of 3.51% between the Midnight Snapper and its only congener.
Abstract: The DNA “barcode”, the partial sequence of the mitochondrial gene cytochrome C oxidase subunit I (COI), was
assessed for species identification within the genus Macolor. The Midnight Snapper, Macolor macularis Fowler
1931, is compared with its only congener, the Black and White Snapper, Macolor niger (Forsskal 1775), both
collected from the south-west coast of India. The examination of fresh specimens of the two species showed
diagnostic anatomical and coloration differences and the DNA barcoding showed a genetic divergence of 3.51%
between the species. We provide a description and illustrations of DNA-barcoded specimens, assess the reliability
of some key marking characters for the two species, and document the DNA barcodes for Indian specimens
