  • Caloptilia populetorum (Zeller, 1839) was added to the list based on DNA barcoded and then subsequently removed due to possible confusion with 0640 Caloptilia strictella. The true identity of C. strictella is unsettled, see Landry et al. (2013:18).
  • Barcode of Life (BOLD) - Caution: DNA barcode provides evidence of relatedness, not proof of identification, and some BOLD specimens shown may not be sequenced.
  • Barcode of Life (BOLD) - BIN: BOLD:AAC7830 - Caution: DNA barcode provides evidence of relatedness, not proof of identification.
