01Narrative
Aproaerema modicella is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Deventer in 1904. It is found in Indonesia (Java)funet.fi and India. It has been an invasive on the African continent since 1998 where it is a pest on groundnut and soybean.Buthelezi et al. 2016 The wingspan is 8–10 mm. The base of the forewings is light brown, darkening towards the center, becoming greyish near the fringe. The markings consist of a small round light brownish spot in the middle of the fold and a larger spot at the margin. There are two small dark spots accompanying the first spot. The hindwings are brownish grey. The larvae feed on Soya hispida,Tijdschr. Ent. 47 : 4 Arachis hypogaea, Glycine max, Medicago sativa and Cajanus cajan.Buthelezi et al. 2016

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 Aproaerema modicella has left across the world's sequence archives.

▸ drag or hover over the strip to read any position — letter and how much it varies
Violet ticks below the strip = positions where individuals differ; flat = the species' unchanging signature. 98% of positions are identical in every specimen.
Where individuals differ — all 11 variable positions, in barcode order
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.

Closest relatives by DNA barcode
The species whose COI barcode is most similar to this one — a quick “who is this most like”. The percentage is how much the barcode differs; it approximates, but is not, the full evolutionary tree.
