01Narrative

Agonopterix dimorphella is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by John Frederick Gates Clarke in 1941. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from South Carolina, Illinois, Nebraska, Kansas and Arkansas. The wingspan is 11–18 mm. The forewings are reddish-ocherous, suffused with fuscous. There is a fuscous median shade from the costa almost to the inner margin and there is a similar shade before the termen. There are two small black discal spots before the middle of the cell and a yellow discal spot at the end of the cell. The hindwings are blackish fuscous. The larvae feed on Amorpha fruticosa.

05DNA & barcoding9 specimens

A DNA barcode is a short, standardised stretch of genes that works like a fingerprint — enough to tell one species from another. Below is the molecular trace Agonopterix dimorphella has left across the world's sequence archives.

Variant network

Each circle is a barcode variant; bigger = more specimens, colour = region. Lines join the most similar variants and the tick marks count the mutations between them — a tight cluster is one “dialect”, a long line a more divergent lineage. Click a circle to list its actual specimens.

CHELSA 1981–2010, ~9 km grid, at location & month of 1 detection point · median with p10–p90 · reflects where sampling happened, not only the true niche

How to read this: each dot is one detection of this species' DNA in an environmental sample. The confidence meter weighs how many independent studies and places back up the signal — one detection in one study is a hint; many across several studies is solid. Records dated before 2008 (when eDNA methods began) are treated as likely mislabeled and left off the map.
