Lineage DNA extractions were carried out using the DNeasy Plant Minit Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) on material from specimens preserved in silica gel which had been collected around the Falkland Islands. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed using a specific primer pair for the partial mitochondrial COI gene region (first fragment). PCR products were electrophoresed to check for amplification and correct length on a 1.2% (w/v) agarose gel prepared with Tris/Borate/EDTA buffer with post-staining in GelRed (Biotium). For sequencing a single reaction product of approximately 50 ng DNA was purified using the QIAquick PCR Purification Kit (Qiagen) and sequencing of both strands was carried out by the Source Bioscience sequencing service using the same primers as employed for PCR. Returned ABI files were imported into BioEdit for quality control and resulting consensus sequences were queried against the NCBI online database using BLASTn. Sequences have been deposited in the ENA/EBI online database and can be accessed through the list of the DNA barcodes.
