The InBIO Barcoding Initiative Database: DNA barcodes of Portuguese Hemiptera 01

Abstract

The InBIO Barcoding Initiative (IBI) Hemiptera 01 dataset contains records of 135 specimens of Hemiptera. Most specimens have been morphologically identified to species or subspecies level, and belong to 90 species in total. The species represented in this dataset correspond to about 7,5% of continental Portugal hemipteran species diversity. All specimens were collected in continental Portugal. Sampling took place from 2015 to 2019, and specimens are deposited in the IBI collection at CIBIO, Research Center in Biodiversity and Genetic Resources.This dataset increases the knowledge on the DNA barcodes and distribution of 90 species of Hemiptera from Portugal. Six species, from five different families, were new additions to the Barcode of Life Data System (BOLD), with another twenty five species barcodes' added from underrepresented taxa in BOLD. All specimens have their DNA barcodes publicly accessible through BOLD online database and the distribution data can be accessed through the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). Eutettix variabilis and Fieberiella florii are recorded for the first time for Portugal, and Siphanta acuta, an invasive species previously reported from the Portuguese Azores archipelago, is recorded for the first time for continental Portugal. Stictopleurus punctatonervosus is recorded for the second time for the country.
