Size: wingspan ± 6 mm
Stigmella salixSD (100%)
Sample ID: BIOUG45533-D10
Process ID: RWWC2015-19
Project: RWWC
Institution Storing: Centre for Biodiversity Genomics
Field ID: 5438 08/13/918
WS ± 6mm
Specimen on 1/4 in or 6.35mm sq. graph paper.
Salix as in genus of willow
Note BOLD tree shows grouping with SD indicating similar DNA sequence amount the seven specimens - I assume. Not similar to 5203 Stigmella rhamnus from here according to DNA. Six of the group of seven specimens on the tree are from Canada with only one record from in US from South Dakota.

SD
It looks like Erik van Nieukerken identified specimens in many BINs to species but added a suffix for state location of one of the specimens for the group under scrutiny when he wasn't sure. In this case the SD is for South Dakota. The species name "salix" does not appear to be valid so I'm not sure if it was added as a misspelling of salicis or if was based on the host plant but I would guess the latter.

There are 69 specimens in this BIN, BOLD:AAH4281, with 4 identified as "Stigmella SalixSD" and 3 as "Stigmella salix_SD." The BIN for Stigmella salicis is BOLD:AAC8505. The two BINs are somewhat close to eachother by DNA barcode. Since Erik is obviously working on these, I would assume that BOLD:AAH4281 represents an undescribed species.

Not a species name
Erik gives provisional labels like this to barcoded species that do not match any described species--in most cases these are undescribed species, but occasionally they may be named species that haven't been barcoded before. In this case the barcode was first obtained from a larva I collected from willow in South Dakota; at the time Erik said the closest match was a European species.

Date Reminder
I changed the date to 2018-08-13 so please edit if incorrect. The data for BIOUG45533-D10 indicates a collection date of "13-Aug-2018" which agrees with the image file data both at BOLD and here at BG:
