Kimura-2 distances	P. lastovizae	P. major	P. cf. gurnardi	T. obscura
Plectanocotyle lastovizae	0.684
Plectanocotyle major	8.31	0.512
Plectanocotyle cf. gurnardi	11.83	11.11	0.221

Note:

Distances are percentages based on the matrix including only clean sequences. Kimura-2 and p-distances are indicated. Italics: distance within species. Distances within species are low, ranging from 0% to 0.68%; distances between species are high, ranging from 7.80% to 13.82%.
