a Identifier of each analyzed datasets.

b Logical relation among datasets.

c List of excluded cox1 sequences respect to the 112 obtained; L3: larvae at 3rd developmental stage; sng: singletons; hybrid: hybrid specimen between D. vaillanti and D. tonsa.

d Number of morphospecies included in the dataset; within brackets the average number of specimens per species; within square brackets the minimum and maximum number of specimens per species.

e Estimated optimal threshold: nucleotide distance or range of distances, expressed as percentage, that minimize the function Fx = min∑ (FP+ FN).

f CEeOT: cumulative error at eOT, within brackets are reported the number of FP and FN.

g Near neighbor defined as Maier et al. (2006), number of tested sequences with as closest individual a conspecific (true, T) or a non conspecific specimens (false, F).

h Accuracy calculated as follow: A = (TP+TN)/n° sequences; values are expressed as percentage.

i Precision calculated as follow: P = TP/(TP+FP); values are expressed as percentage. FP: false positive identification corresponding to type I errors; FN: false negative corresponding to type II errors; TP: true positive; TN: true negative.
