DNA barcodes of COI and similarly sized sequences from cytb demonstrate three distinct geographically and genetically distinct groups within the neotropical bat species Sturnira lilum. Individual variation between cytochrome b sequences is greater than those within barcode sequences but resolution is internally consistent. The trees are assembled by using K2P genetic distances [20] in a neighbor-joining method [13]. Bootstrap values (1000 replicates) for major geographic lineages are shown above each branch.
