Appendix I

List of specimens analyzed in the present study. All specimens sequenced in the course of this study hold an individual four-digit DNA collection number of the University Giessen (marked in bold and listed in column ‘code’). Sequences that were taken from GenBank are marked with GB (*Lee & Ó Foighil, 2003; #Guralnick, 2005; §Steiner, unpublished,N/A – Locality data not available). The locality code (‘Loc’) refers to the codes in Figure 2 and is given only for specimens found in the lakes Ohrid (O) and Prespa (P) as well as within the surrounding watershed (W).
