Table 1 The molecular identity of specimens used in the present study from which novel mitogenome information was generated. Molecular IDs were inferred from the reconstructed COI gene after mapping to the reference mitogenome, using the top BLAST hit from GenBank and the identification engine from BOLD. PI % – the percentage of identity; SI % – the percentage of sequence similarity. BIN ID – Barcode Index Number Identifier
