Corley M, Ferreira S, Mata V A, Sousa P, Beja P (2020). The InBIO Barcoding Initiative Database: Ypsolopha rhinolophi sp. nov. (Lepidoptera: Ypsolophidae), a new species from Portugal and France unveiled by bats. Version 1.1. CIBIO (Research Center in Biodiversity and Genetic Resources) Portugal.

Description

The dataset contains eight records of moth specimens of the genus Ypsolopha collected from 2015 to 2017 in continental Portugal. Specimens were detected and captured by direct search of the environment during the day, with adults hand-netted and larvae reared to adulthood, and by night using mercury-vapor lamps to attract the insects. Captured specimens were identified to species level and preserved in 96% ethanol. A tissue sample, usually 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. Preserved specimens and DNA extracts are deposited in the IBI collection at the CIBIO (Research Center in Biodiversity and Genetic Resources).

Purpose

The InBIO Barcoding Initiative (IBI) aims to develop a reference collection of DNA barcoding sequences primarily covering Portuguese invertebrate taxa providing a tool in ecological studies.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

Specimens were collected in seven different localities of continental Portugal. Sampling was conducted from 2015 to 2017.

Sampling

Sampling of specimens was done at seven different localities of continental Portugal. Sampling was conducted between 2015 to 2017. Captured specimens were preserved in 96% ethanol and stored at the InBIO Barcoding Initiative reference collection for downstream molecular analysis. The collected specimens were morphologically identified.

Quality Control

The DNA barcoded specimen morphological identification was contrasted with the results of the Blast of the newly generated DNA barcode in BOLD Identification Engine. Prior submission to GBIF, data was checked for errors and inconsistencies with OpenRefine 3.3 (http://openrefine.org/).

Method steps

Sampling of specimens was done at seven different localities of continental Portugal, between 2015 and 2017. Specimens were detected and captured by direct search during the day, with adults hand-netted and larvae reared to adulthood, and by night using mercury-vapor lamps as lures.
The captured specimen was preserved in 96% ethanol.
The specimen was morphologically identified using a binocular stereoscopic microscope and resorting to available literature (Clerck, 1759; Corley, Ferreira & Mata, 2019; Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775; Fabricius, 1775, 1787; Jin, Wang & Li, 2013; Linnaeus, 1761).
DNA barcodes were sequenced from all specimens. For this, one leg was removed from each individual from which a 658 bp COI DNA barcode fragment was extracted, amplified and sequenced.
The obtained sequences were submitted to BOLD and GenBank databases and the specimens’ morphological identification was contrasted with the results of the BLAST of the newly generated DNA barcode in BOLD Identification Engine.
Prior submission to GBIF, data was checked for errors and inconsistencies with OpenRefine 3.3 (http://openrefine.org/).
