Abstract：DNA barcoding has been widely used in taxonomy since the concept appeared in 2003． The mitochondrial gene
cytochrome c oxidase I ( COⅠ) is regarded as one of the most acceptable molecular markers and insect DNA barcoding
research based on this gene has been developed internationally． This paper gives a general introduction to DNA barcodes，
DNA barcoding and insect DNA barcode projects． It summarizes research into and the application of insect mtDNA COⅠ
barcoding in the description of cryptic species，species molecular identification and phylogenetics． In addition，we analyse
the influence of coamplification of Numts with mtDNA COⅠ barcodes，presenting several suggestions on detecting and
avoiding Numts． Finally，we discuss future prospects for DNA barcoding．
