The data in the tables below are the modal STR alleles for each of the haplogroups seen in a study of Y-chromosomes in the Iberian Penninsula, and in northwest Africa published by Bosch et al in 2001.
The "YCC" column represents the haplogroup designation in the YCC nomenclature. Column "Pop" is the number of men in the study who belonged to each haplogroup.

| R1b* | 59 | 14 | 12 | 13 | 29 | 24 | 11 | 13 | 13 |
| R1b3 | 2 | 15 | 12 | 14 | 30 | 23,24 | 10,11 | 11,13 | 13 |
| R1b6 | 6 | 14 | 12 | 13 | 29 | 24 | 11 | 13 | 13 |
| R1b8 | 11 | 14 | 12 | 13 | 29 | 24 | 10 | 13 | 13 |
The modal haplotypes of these R1b sub-groups are close enough to that of R1b* that these modal haplotypes cannot be used to determine membership in one of these R1b sub-groups. The variation of values within R1b* is greater than between R1b* and these sub-groups. The only way to determine if you belong to one of these R1b sub-groups is to have the appropriate SNP test performed.
It appears that YCC haplogroup "I" may consist of at least two very different components. The branch of "I" seen here (I1b2) occurs in small numbers (a few percent) among groups that are largely descended from the original Paleolithic population of Europe - e.g. Basques, and Irish. The other branches of "I" (IxI1b2) are seen in great numbers elsewhere in Europe - but were nearly absent from Spain/NW Africa. The modal haplotype for HG2 given on my haplogroup webpage is probably close to that for a branch of "I" seen in northern and central Europe.
Haplogroup "E3b" may also turn out to have different branches in various places in Europe. The modal alleles for E3b2 seen here match up with a common haplotype that the YSTR.org database shows to be somewhat specific to Spain. The YSTR.org database also shows a different E3b haplotype that appears in relatively high frequencies elsewhere in Europe.
Haplogroup FxIJK might be mostly YCC haplogroup "G" - but the biallelic marker required to confirm this was not tested in Bosch's study. FxIJK was seen at a rate of a few percent among the Catalans and Andulasians.
Members of haplogroup R1b* appeared in all Spanish groups. The sub-groups R1b3, and R1b6 were mostly seen among the Basques, while R1b8 was seen both among the Basques and Catalans. The mutation that defines R1b8 is thought to have occurred about 3000 years ago - so it's interesting to see how little change there has been between the modal haplotype in R1b* and R1b8 in all that time.
