Table 4.
Minimum and maximum intraspecific genetic K2P distances (%) for each species including mean and standard deviation. The barcoding gap indicates the difference between the maximum intraspecific and the minimum interspecific (nearest neighbour) genetic distance. Additionally K2P genetic distances are given in brackets, if they differ from p-distances.
| Species | Specimens | Mean Distance | SD* | Minimum Distance | Maximum Distance | Nearest Neighbor | Distance to Nearest Neighbor | Barcoding Gap |

| Ammodytes tobianus | 6 | 0.15 | 0.01 | 0.00 | 0.15 | Hyperoplus lanceolatus | 0.15 | no gap |
| Hyperoplus lanceolatus | 29 | 0.22 | 0.15 | 0.00 | 0.62 | Ammodytes tobianus | 0.15 | no gap |
| Hyperoplus immaculatus | 8 | 0.07 | 0.08 | 0.00 | 0.16 | Ammodytes marinus | 3.50 | 3.34 |
