From: Recovery of the mitochondrial COI barcode region in diverse Hexapoda through tRNA-based primers
Sequence characteristics for the 5' region of COI and cases of amino acid deletion. a) Sequence attributes for 11 species that failed to amplify with the standard barcode primers, but that were recovered with the tRNA-W primer cocktail. Sequences are shown from the presumed initiation codon. b) Amino acid deletions in three species of Pseudococcidae and a species of Tenthredinidae. The numbers are the amino acid position from the proposed translation initiation codon.
