Maximum likelihood distance values at different hierarchic levels (in percentage). 12SrDNA = small mitochondrial ribosmal subunit, COII = Cytochrome oxidase c subunit II, DL = control region or d-loop, ITS2 = intergenic spacer 2, MtDNA = concatenated mitochondrial genes, n + mtDNA = concatenated nuclear and mitochondrial genes.
