TABLE 2. GenBank accession numbers of species and specimens of Helicops and outgroup taxa included in the molecular phylogenetic reconstructions and genetic divergence analyses. Specimens in bold refer to the new sequences generated in the present work. 12S and 16S: 12S and 16S ribosomal RNA; BDNF: brain derived neurotrophic factor; C- mos: oocyte maturation factor Mos and NT3: Neurotrophin-3. The name H. pictiventris [as originally deposited in GenBank by Zaher et. al. (2009)] is presently in the synonymy of H. infrataeniatus (see Lema et al. 1984; Vidal et al. 2010).
