TABLE 4. Museum accession numbers, GenBank sequences (all markers) and BOLD (COI sequences) process ID and BIN numbers of Scolelepis capensis from South Africa used in phylogenetic analyses. DNA was extracted from whole specimens from Muizenberg and have therefore been assigned Specimen Identification numbers that link to their BOLD Process ID numbers where images can be viewed.
