Barbara colfaxiana (Kearfott, 1907) is apparently a western species represented by the BIN group BOLD:AAF3527 at BOLD. An eastern population represented by BOLD:AAF3526 is believed to refer to an undescribed species, but is included here pending further study.

Barcode of Life (BOLD) - Caution: Identifications often erroneous; DNA barcode provides evidence of relatedness, not proof of identification; many specimens not sequenced.
Barcode of Life (BOLD) - BIN: BOLD:AAF3526 (possibly an undescribed species near colfaxiana). - Caution: DNA barcode provides evidence of relatedness, not proof of identification.
Barcode of Life (BOLD) - BIN: BOLD:AAF3527 (part; BIN shared with B. ulteriorana). - Caution: DNA barcode provides evidence of relatedness, not proof of identification.
