Tamura-Nei model (1993) and included mean diver- 
gence and range of divergence between each species 
pair, as well as ranges of divergence within each spe- 
cies. Because divergences between the sequences were 
large, all sequences, including those of the Atlantic 
specimens and the Uranoscopus sequence, were ana- 
lyzed for substitution saturation of the mitochondrial 
COI sequence by using Xia’s method (Xia et al., 2003) 
in DAMBE, vers. 5.3.109 (Xia, 2013). 
Morphology 
Counts of median-fin rays and internal features were 
taken from radiographs; other counts were taken from
