Eleven of the 12 specimens included in the analysis were collected from Borneo; the remaining specimen came from Mozambique, and thus our specimens span much of the distribution of this species. The analysis yielded essentially a single cluster. The range in pairwise differences among specimens in this cluster was 0–7, with an average of 3.8. The relatively low level of variation seen here is interesting in view of the results of Dudgeon et al. (2009), given that our specimens included a specimen from Mozambique, as well as the Indo-West Pacific.
