Table 1.
Barcode index numbers and sequence divergence values (K2P) for the DNA barcode of COI for 52 families of moths collected in Pakistan.
Sequence divergences are only reported for families with more than one BIN.

Barcode gap analysis for species of moths with three or more specimens collected in Pakistan.
NN = nearest neighbor.
Table 2.
K2P sequence divergence in the COI barcode region for moth species from Pakistan with more than three specimens, genera with three or more species, and families with three or more genera.
This analysis only considers specimens that were assigned to a Linnaean species.
Fig 3.
Intraspecific variation (K2P) at the COI gene against geographical extent (km) of moth species from Pakistan and their conspecifics from other regions.
Vertical downward arrow (red) indicates the percentage of species with less or more than 2% divergence across their range.

Heat map showing the percentage of Lepidoptera BINs from Pakistan (shaded gray) shared with other countries.
Sharing (range) with other countries is colour-coded with varying circle sizes.
