TABLE 4. Molecular diagnostic characters from 28 S in Lyrodus mersinensis sp. nov. (Bivalvia: Teredinidae) another cryptic species in the Lyrodus pedicellatus (Quatrefages, 1849) complex

TABLE 4. Molecular diagnostic characters from 28S rRNA gene sequences of Lyrodus mersinensis sp. nov. (bold) compared to sequences of L. pedicellatus, Nototeredo norvagica, Teredo navalis, Teredothyra dominicensis, and Bankia carinata. Numbers in parenthesis refer to the number of sequences from each species used in the analysis. Indels (insertions or deletions) in sequences of Nototeredo norvagica and Teredothyra dominicensis are indicated as dashes.
