Abstract
Fireflies are one of the best-known examples of luminescent organisms. The limited geographic distribution and rarity of some firefly genera have hindered molecular phylogenetic analysis, resulting in uncertainty in regard to firefly phylogeny. Here, using genome skimming next-generation sequencing, we sequenced 23 Asian firefly species from 15 genera (Lampyridae: 14; Rhagophthalmidae: one) and assembled their mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes)...
