DNA barcoding success for the studied species.

For each species it is reported if it can be successfully identified by DNA barcoding, the mean intra-specific genetic distance, the maximum intra-specific genetic distance, and the minimum genetic distance from its closest-related species of the same genus. In the parentheses is given the standard error of the genetic distance. Species marked with a are species with mean intra-specific genetic distance greater than 0.0200 and they are presented in more detail in part 3.3 of the manuscript. Species marked with b are species with mean genetic distance from their closest-related species of the same genus lower than 0.0200 and no barcoding gap and they are presented in more detail in part 3.4 of the manuscript. Species marked with c are species with mean genetic distance from their closest-related species of the same genus lower than 0.0200 but exhibiting a barcoding gap and they are presented in more detail in part 3.4 of the manuscript. In the columns reporting genetic distances from closest-related species of the same genus (columns 5 and 6), a dash (-) means the species was the only one studied from this genus. (XLSX)
