Complex with high support and specimens of this species were less than 2% different in COI sequence from each other. However, one specimen from Tennessee (DNA#1839) was 5% different; this specimen was collected from the same river as the other specimens and was indistinguishable morphologically. We refrain from speculating on this COI variation, but consider this specimen as an outlier, and thus within our hypothesis for
