  abstract = {{L}epidopteran stemborers are among the most damaging agricultural pests worldwide, able to reduce crop yields by up to 40%. {S}ugarcane is the world's most prolific crop, and several stemborer species from the families {N}octuidae, {T}ortricidae, {C}rambidae and {P}yralidae attack sugarcane. {A}ustralia is currently free of the most damaging stemborers, but biosecurity efforts are hampered by the difficulty in morphologically distinguishing stemborer species. {H}ere we assess the utility of {DNA} barcoding in identifying stemborer pest species. {W}e review the current state of the {COI} barcode sequence library for sugarcane stemborers, assembling a dataset of 1297 sequences from 64 species. {S}equences were from specimens collected and identified in this study, downloaded from {BOLD} or requested from other authors. {W}e performed species delimitation analyses to assess species diversity and the effectiveness of barcoding in this group. {S}even species exhibited < 0.03 {K}2{P} interspecific diversity, indicating that diagnostic barcoding will work well in most of the studied taxa. {W}e identified 24 instances of identification errors in the online database, which has hampered unambiguous stemborer identification using barcodes. {I}nstances of very high within-species diversity indicate that nuclear markers (e.g. 18{S}, 28{S}) and additional morphological data (genitalia dissection of all lineages) are needed to confirm species boundaries.},
