Differentiation between the two genera Miarus (Schoenherr, 1826) and Cleopomiarus (Pierce, 1919) and further identification of species within the genus have still proved to be a problem. The only known method for Polish species is based on detailed analysis of the adult male reproductive organs. Modern taxonomy may support the morphological markings using biological labels. It allows for the generation of DNA barcode that makes possible to identify the species of insects at any stage of development and any part of the body. The aim of the study was to verify the possibility of using the DNA barcoding BOLD database to species identification of the representatives of Mecinini, based on the MT-CO1 sequence obtained from individuals in the larvae and pupae stages. It was found possible to assign specimens on larvae (L2, L3) and pupae stage to the right genus – Miarus or Cleopomiarus. The species level identification using MT-CO1 sequences, especially within the genus Miarus, does not allow unambiguous assignment of unknown individuals.
