DNA barcoding gap represented by a scatter plot of all 338 Malaysian black fly sequences: Maximum intra-distance versus minimum distance to nearest neighbour (NN). The gap exists for species above the 1:1 line. The DNA barcode gap was present in 79.54% of all species. Single sequence species were excluded. Red dots include newly generated sequences, whereas blue dots represent sequences from GenBank.
