The complete mitochondrial genome of the firefly, Diaphanes citrinus (Olivier), (coleoptera: Lampyridae).

ABSTRACT: We report the complete mitochondrial genome of firefly, Diaphanes citrinus (Olivier). The circular genome of 18,594 bp and has a base composition of A (41.26%), C (11.64%), G (10.18%), T (36.92%). Similar to other Metazoa, our sequence contains 13 protein-coding genes, 21 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and a non-coding AT-rich region. We sequenced the mitochondrial genome of fireflies to analyze phylogenetic relationships and deduce the evolution of their flashing signals.
