Abstract: H. rufipes and H. parvaccola are criptic and sympatric species that are difficult to identify morphologically. So that PCR-RFLP markers was used to analysis of 16s rRNA gene sequences that restrictionon enzyme AvaII The result showed that PCR-RFLP marker can be used to identify species of H. parvaccola and H. rufipes and distinguish these two species.
