In the resulted alignment of 482-pb fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase subunit I (COI) gene, we identified 5 polymorphic sites (three with singleton variable sites and two parsimony informative ones). Three haplotypes were identified: H1 (ANA1442 C1 male, ANA1446 C 5 female ), H2 (ANA1443 C 2 male ), H3 (ANA1444 C 3 male , ANA1445 C4 female, ANA1447 C 6 female ). Intraspecific genetic distances between the analyzed specimens using K2P model is 0.5%. Also, all observed nucleotide substitutions were synonymous and did not have differences in the amino acid sequence.
