3633 Spotted Fireworm Moth - Choristoneura rosaceana

May 28, 2009
Supported as Choristoneura parallela by DNA barcoding match, BOLD LPOKB386-09
Found at UV light near pond in wooded area of a flood plain

Choristoneura rosaceana
Jim Vargo noticed that this does not look like typical parallela. Michael Sabourin says it looks mote like rosaceana.

I checked BOLD. Both species are in BIN BOLD:AAA1517 but they are separated into two distinct branches. Your sample, BOLD LPOKB386-09, is now identified as rosaceana and it lands squarely in the rosaceana branch of the taxon tree with an identical barcode to about 200 other rosaceana specimens.
