To investigate the genetic structure of the firefly population, known as Luciola lateralis, in Korea. We determined on a portion of mitochondrial Cytochrome Oxidase Subunit I (COI) gene sequences (403 bp) for phylogenetic comparison. Sequence analysis of 80 individuals collected from 12 localities revealed 24 haplotypes, ranging in sequence divergence from 0.2% to 4.0%. Phylogenetic analyses using PAUP, PHYLIP, and networks subdivided L. lateralis into two clades (termed clade A and B) and the nucleotide divergence between them was 2.2%.
