The complete mitochondrial genome of the firefly, Abscondita chinensis (Coleoptera: Lampyridae)

Figures & data

Figure 1. Molecular phylogeny of Abs. chinensis and 11 other firefly species based on the complete mitochondrial genome. The complete mitochondrial genome was downloaded from GenBank and the phylogenic tree was constructed by neighbor-joining method with 1000 bootstrap replicates. MtDNA accession numbers used for tree construction are as follows: Pteroptyx maipo (MF686051) Aquatica ficta (KX758085), Pyrocoelia rufa (AF452048), Aquatica leii (KF667531), Aquatica wuhana (KX758086), Luciola cruciata (AB849456), Asymmetricata circumdata (KX229747), Aquatica lateralis (LC306678), Abscondita anceyi (MH020192), Luciola curtithorax (MG770613) and Luciola substriata (recently identified as Sclerotia flavida by Ballantyne et al. 2016)(KP313820).

Ballantyne L, Lambkin C, Luan X, Boontop Y, Nak-Eiam S, Pimpasalee S, Silalom S, Thancharoen A. 2016. Further studies on south eastern Asian luciolinae: 1. Sclerotia Ballantyne, a new genus of fireflies with back swimming larvae 2. Triangulara Pimpasalee, a new genus from Thailand (Coleoptera: Lampyridae). Zootaxa. 4170:201.
