01Narrative

Ardozyga nyctias is a species of moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1904. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from southern Queensland and New South Wales. The wingspan is about . The forewings are dark fuscous irrorated with ashy-grey and with a conspicuous pale ochreous basal dot in the middle. The stigmata are moderate, dark fuscous, accompanied by some white scales, with the plical somewhat beyond the first discal. There are some obscure grey-whitish dots along the posterior half of the costa and termen. The hindwings are fuscous, darker posteriorly. The larvae feed on the young shoots of Corymbia torelliana, living between leaves joined with silk.Lepidoptera Larvae of Australia

05DNA & barcoding28 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 Ardozyga nyctias 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.

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.

Where the DNA of Ardozyga nyctias 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.
