True, but as Isaac Asimov said, of course there are exceptions! 
Even within groups there are often one or a few species pairs that
have either unusually high intraspecific or low interspecific
differences.  Judging from the distance to the next-closest species,
I'm guessing that the two Polyctor species are an example of this.
