The Trichoptera are an important component of freshwater ecosystems. In the Iberian Peninsula, 380 taxa caddisflies known, with nearly 1/3 total species being endemic in region. A reference collection morphologically identified specimens, representing 142 taxa, was constructed. InBIO Barcoding Initiative (IBI) 01 dataset contains records 438 sequenced specimens. this correspond to about 37% dive...
