DNA Results
BOLD LPOKE641-12
This is currently shown as being a 98% match with the single existing reference specimen of Prodoxus quinquepunctella.
The match to the many P. decipiens specimens (including three from this location) is 97% or less.
From the taxonomy tree I suspect that it will end up as Prodoxus quinquepunctella when
more reference specimens are barcoded.
