Abstract
Understanding the genetic and morphological diversity of agriculturally significant insect species like Lohita grandis is crucial for ecological monitoring and sustainable pest management. This study investigates populations from four distinct agroclimatic zones using both morphological traits and molecular markers (COI and ITS2). Significant inter-zonal variability was found in body length, weight, and genetic sequences. Phylogenetic analysis revealed zone-specific clustering, suggesting restricted gene flow and possible local adaptation. Our findings provide a baseline for biodiversity conservation and evolutionary studies of this species.
