Hi Jorge,

These would be two different proteins identified on the same scaffold. The numbers don't have any meaning other than that the genes are numbered sequentially and so these two genes would be adjacent to each other.  If you have access to the GFF3 file produced by Maker for this genome you should see those two IDs with adjacent but different coordinates as well.
