Genus Nomada, comprising around 800 species, stands as the largest within the subfamily Nomadinae and is the sole genus in the Nomadini tribe. Its taxonomic classification presents significant challenges due to substantial morphological variations, rendering it one of the most contentious groups within the subfamily. To gain insight into the intricate classification of Nomada species and their position within the tribe, this study conducted a multi-locus phylogeny. This involved the utilization of a mitochondrial gene (COI) and five nuclear protein-coding genes (EF1α, Nak, Opsin, Pol Ⅱ, Wingless). The study primarily focused on augmenting the understanding of certain East Palearctic species, with the overarching aim of reassessing the species groups of Nomada found in Korea.
