01Narrative

Agrotera basinotata is a moth of the family Crambidae described by George Hampson in 1891. It is native to Queensland, Thailand, Hong Kong and Japan, but was introduced to Hawaii for the control of Melastoma malabathricum. The wingspan is about 20 mm. Adults have brown wings with a cream and yellow pattern near the base. The wing margins are chequered. The abdomen has cream and yellow banding, and a brown tip. The larvae feed on Melastoma malabathricum, but also Syzygium buxifolium.

05DNA & barcoding2 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 Agrotera basinotata has left across the world's sequence archives.
