01Narrative

Ancylostomia is a monotypic snout moth genus described by Émile Louis Ragonot in 1893. Its one species, Ancylostomia stercorea, the pigeonpea pod borer, was described by Philipp Christoph Zeller in 1848. It is found in southern Florida, southern Texas, Cuba, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, the Virgin Islands, Jamaica, the Bahamas, Grenada, St. Kitts, Trinidad, Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, French Guiana, Brazil, Guyana, Dominica, Montserrat and Antigua. Adults are on wing year round. The larvae feed on Cajanus cajan, Cicer and Dolichos species. They bore into the seed cavity of their host plant. A small mound of frass and silk covers the entrance hole. They feed on the seeds. Pupation takes place in the soil.Systematics of immature phycitines (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)

05DNA & barcoding7 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 Ancylostomia stercorea has left across the world's sequence archives.

09Environmental DNA2 detections

Where the DNA of Ancylostomia stercorea was picked up in samples of water, soil or air — nobody saw the organism, only its DNA left behind. A trace is a clue that the species was near, not a confirmed sighting.

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.
