Apomecyna saltator is een keversoort uit de familie van de boktorren (Cerambycidae). De wetenschappelijke naam van de soort werd voor het eerst geldig gepubliceerd in 1787 door Fabricius. De kever is ongeveer 1,3 to 1,4 cm lang, grijs met diverse witte stippen die in drie V-vormige formaties op de dekschilden zijn geschikt. De tasters hebben een lengte van 2/3 van het lichaam. De soort komt voor in grote delen van Azië, onder meer India en Pakistan en is ook aangetroffen in Australië en Hawaï. Het is een plaaginsect, omdat de larve boort in de stengels van pompoenen en andere planten uit de komkommerfamilie. De stengels zwellen daardoor op. De schade die ze aanricht blijft beperkt bij oudere planten, die een geringere opbrengst aan vruchten opleveren. Jonge planten kunnen afsterven bij een ernstige aantasting.

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 Apomecyna saltator has left across the world's sequence archives.

Organelle genome
Besides the big genome in the nucleus, cells carry a small, circular loop of DNA inside the cell's energy factories — the mitochondria. It is inherited almost only from the mother and is a leftover from ancient bacteria that moved into the cell. The mitochondrial markers above (ND*, COX, CYTB…) are read from exactly this loop. Outer ring = one strand, inner ring = the other.

The complete instruction manualApomecyna saltator carries — its genome. We read it from three angles — how big it is, how the DNA is packed into chromosomes, and how completely it has been sequenced — and explain how to read each value as you go.
Chromosomes & ploidyhow the DNA is packaged
2n is the full chromosome count in a normal body cell; n is a gamete (egg or sperm), which carries half. Ploidy is how many complete chromosome sets each cell holds — 2× (diploid) is typical for animals, while higher levels (polyploidy) are common in plants. Click any value below to see the underlying records and sources.

Where the DNA of Apomecyna saltator 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 strong is each trace?
DNA read depthRead counts were not reported for this species — the map shows presence only, not how strong each trace was.
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.
