01Narrative

Iphthiminus serratus is a species of darkling beetles in the subfamily Tenebrioninae. Originally I. sublaevis and I. salebrosus were considered subspecies of I. serratus due to minor geographical variation, but this variation is gradual and they are now considered synonyms.

No narrative description available for this taxon yet.

05DNA & barcoding12 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 Iphthiminus serratus has left across the world's sequence archives.

09Environmental DNA8 detections

Where the DNA of Iphthiminus serratus 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.
