TABLE 1. Pairwise genetic distances between 12 specimens of Anthidium melanopygum / A. spiniventre from different parts of the distribution area according to the Tamura-Nei and the Kimura 2-parameter substitution model (the genetic distances values are identical on the level of the first three decimal places in both models). Distance values>5% are shown in bold.
