We performed mitogenome analysis of Japanese firefly (Coleoptera: Lampyridae), which is unique species in Japan. It is classified into six haplotypes based on the difference of COII sequence on mitochondrial DNA. The complete mitogenome sequence of Tohoku group has been registered so far, we newly analysed West Japan groups which belong to different haplotype. The total length of analysed mitogenome was 15,990 bp, being one base longer than the case of Tohoku's firefly. The base substitution was found at 273 positions over the whole mitochondrial sequence, while amino acid substitution accompanying it was observed at only 11 positions.
我们对日本萤火虫(鞘翅目:萤科)进行了线粒体基因组分析,该萤火虫是日本的独特物种。根据线粒体DNA上COII序列的差异,它被分为六个单倍型。到目前为止,东北种群的完整线粒体基因组序列已被登记,我们新分析了属于不同单倍型的日本西部种群。分析的线粒体基因组全长15990bp,比东北萤火虫的情况长一个碱基。在整个线粒体序列的273个位置发现了碱基替换,而伴随的氨基酸替换仅在11个位置观察到。
