The InBIO Barcoding Initiative Database: DNA Barcoding reveals sexual dimorphism in Isotrias penedana Trematerra, 2013 (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae, Chlidanotinae)

The dataset contains five records of moth specimens of the genus Isotrias collected from 2012 to 2016 in continental Portugal. The study of these specimens resulted in the discovery of sexual dimorphism in the species Isotrias penedana Trematerra, 2013, and in the description of the previously unknown female of the species in Corley and Ferreira (2017). Specimens were detected and captured by direct search of the environment during the day, with adults? hand-netted, and by night using mercury-vapor lamps to attract the insects. Captured specimens were identified to species level and kept in dry storage. A tissue sample, a leg, was collected from each individual, from which DNA was extracted. The DNA barcoding of these specimens was conducted within the InBIO Barcoding Initiative (IBI), funded by EnvMetaGen and PORBIOTA projects. DNA barcode sequences were deposited in BOLD (Barcode of Life Data System) and GenBank online databases. DNA extracts are deposited in the IBI collection at the CIBIO (Research Center in Biodiversity and Genetic Resources).
