Members of    Geomyphilus    are associated with rodent burrows, such as pocket gophers and prairie dogs. In Mexico, they are found in the mountains of the Mexican Volcanic Belt and in Sierra Madre Oriental. Our study aims to initiate the exploration of the dispersal modes of    Geomyphilus   pierai    and    G.   barrerai    from burrows of pocket gophers. In order to estimate the dispersal scale of the beetles, the utility of mitochondrial and nuclear molecular markers for studying the phylogeographic structure of this complex of species (   G.   pierai    and    G.   barrerai   ) was tested from 49 beetle individuals. High intraspecific and intra-mountain nucleotidic diversity was captured from this sample using Co1 mitochondrial sequences, whilst the ITS2 nuclear ribosomal sequence did not allow observing informative variation. Mitochondrial phylogenetic analysis revealed that the specific delineation between the two species under study was doubtful. In this preliminary study, Co1 was shown to be a good marker for elucidating dispersal routes of the burrowing rodent-associated beetles.

Co1 DNA supports conspecificity of    Geomyphilus   pierai    and    G.   barrerai    (  Coleoptera  ,   Scarabaeidae  ,   Aphodiinae  ) and is a good marker for their phylogeographic investigation in Mexican mountains
