The InBIO Barcoding Initiative Database: DNA Barcodes of Iberian Trichoptera

The Trichoptera are an important component of freshwater ecosystems. In the Iberian Peninsula 380 taxa of Caddisflies are known, with nearly 1/ 3rd of the total species being endemic taxa in the region. A reference collection of morphologically identified Trichoptera specimens representing 142 Iberian taxa was constructed. The InBIO Barcoding Initiative (IBI) Trichoptera 01 dataset contains records of 438 Trichoptera sequenced specimens. The species of this dataset correspond to about 37% of Iberian Trichoptera species diversity. Specimens were collected between 1975 to 2018 and are deposited in the in the IBI collection at the CIBIO (Research Center in Biodiversity and Genetic Resources, Portugal) or in the collection Marcos A. González at the University of Santiago de Compostela (Spain).
