Jayapura Regency is one of the regions that considerable potential for economic growth from non-timber forest products. In the development of non-timber forest products in the form of products produced by insects, silk yarn is one of the commodity that has a high demand. The domestic demand for silk yarn is 900 tons/year, while only 19.05 tons/year were produced in 2012. Jayapura Regency has a great potential to supply the shortage of cocoon for the domestic market and the wide open international market. Related to this challenge, this study conducted basic research on the diversity of moths from the Bombicoidea superfamily in the natural forest of Kampung Soaib, Jayapura Regency. Sampling using light traps, four species of moths from the Saturnidae family were obtained, Syntherata apicalis, Opodiphtera intermedia, Opodiphtera papuana, and Coscinocera hercules. The cocoon of Coscinocera hercules is very potential as a silk thread producer because it is large and consists of two layers with brown color and has fiber characteristics similar to the cocoon of Attacus atlas which has been developed as a wild silk producer. These results indicate that the lowland forests of Jayapura Regency as a habitat for wild silkworm species has potential to be developed as non-timber forest products.Key words: Superfamily Bombicoidea; silkworm; cocoon; Jayapura regency

“…Bombycoidea), commonly known as hawkmoths, consists of more than 1600 species of small to very large moths, worldwide except Antarctica (Holloway et al, 2001;Kitching, 2020). Due in part to their large size and great beauty, hawkmoths are also one of the favorite groups for butterfly collectors (Kitching & Cadiou, 2000).…”

The use of DNA barcodes is a molecular method commonly used for the identification of specimens that are difficult to pinpoint accurately by traditional morphological methods. DNA barcoding uses standard short genomic regions that are universally present in target lineages and has sufficient sequence variation to identify species in the genus. The hawkmoth genus Cechetra (Zolotuhin & Ryabov, 2012) was proposed for a group of morphologically similar, stripe-patterned species. Based on the seven specimens of the three species of Cechetra genus collected from the Central of Vietnam, we used morphological analysis to initially identified their scientific name of Cechetra lineosa (Walker, 1856) for 04 specimens (LB_F01, LB_G01, LB_H01 and LK_G05); 02 specimens (MK_H04 and MK_B07) were identified with the scientific name of Cechetra minor (Butler, 1875) and 01 specimen (SG_D7) with scientific name Cechetra subangustata (Rothschild, 1920). Then, the COI (Cytochrome C oxidase I) sequence was used for molecular analysis. Total DNA was extracted from the legs of specimens, COI with over 600 bp in length from each specimen was amplified by PCR reactions. The PCR products are hence purified and sequenced. COI gene cloning results showed a very high level of genetic similarity (over 99%) and 7 specimens are of the genus Cechetra, Sphingidae family. For three homomorphic species belonging to the genus Cechetra Zolotuhin & Ryabov, 2012 including Cechetra lineosa (Walker, 1856); Cechetra minor (Butler, 1875) and Cechetra subangustata (Rothschild, 1920). The studied sequences have been added to the current database at GenBank (NCBI) with accession numbers MT994230, MT994231, MT994232, MT994233, MT994234, MT994235, and MT994236.
