A1 - Breman, Floris C A1 - Dall Asta, Ugo SP - 11 EP - 16 KW - Afrotropic KW - COI KW - DNA barcoding KW - Lymantriidae AB - Some preserved specimens of the lepidopteran collection of the Royal Museum for Central Africa were used in a pilot DNA barcoding study. They differed in age, the applied preservation methods and collection sites. Thereby, short and standard DNA barcode sequences were obtained, and species assignments based on neighbour-joining tree reconstruction were carried out and compared with morphological identification. Our results show that the DNA barcoding approach is able to distinguish lymantriid species on an efficient way. Furthermore, we show three examples where it also provides with novel information to taxonomic problems: we found a possibly undescribed species of Leucoma, recovered the possible synonymy of Stracena promelaena and Stracena flavescens, and found an unexpected genetic diversity of some Porthesaroa species.

Little is known about how to optimize DNA quantity and quality from different insect parts while preserving a morphological voucher. Here, we quantify DNA yield from different body parts (antenna, hind leg, forewing, hind wing and abdomen) of the micro-moth Cameraria ohridella (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) using fluorescent nucleic acid stain (PicoGreen). Samples were preserved in 100% ethanol or dried for three weeks. Our experiment was designed to encompass practical sampling options during fieldwork. DNA quality was assessed by PCR amplification of the mitochondrial COI barcode fragment. In addition, we compared PCR amplification using Platinum® Taq and Qiagen DNA Polymerase and quantified sequence success of amplified DNA. We show that overall, dry parts showed higher eluted DNA yields. PCR and sequencing success rate were slightly higher for dry tissue than ethanol-preserved parts. We also show that Platinum® Taq yielded the highest PCR success rate and that all dry tissues are sequenceable. The optimal strategy for DNA barcoding surveys is therefore to mount micro-Lepidoptera specimens in the field for morphological analysis and sample tissues (hind legs are favoured) from dried samples at a later time (several weeks) in the lab for DNA barcoding using preferentially Platinum® Taq. If larger amounts of DNA are required (i.e. for nuclear gene sequencing), several legs from one side of the specimen or the abdomen should be preserved in pure ethanol.
