Abstract

The phylogenetic relationship of the suborder Anisoptera distributed on Jeju Island, Korea, was analyzed by comparing partial mitochondrial 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene sequences. The length of the partial mitochondrial 16S rRNA genes for the 27 species of the Anisoptera studied ranged from 405 to 421 base pairs (bp). No intra-genus length-variations were identified in the genera Anax and Orthetrum, while the genes of and Sympetrum displayed lengths of 411 to 412 and 406 to 411 bp, respectively. The GC content of the partial mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene ranged from 26.76% to 30.83%. A parsimony analysis of the unambiguously aligned mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene sequences from 28 species, including s. The strict consensus tre had thre large independent groups: group I (family Aeshnidae), group II (family Libellulidae), and group III (family Corduliidae). Interestingly, the eight species of the genus Sympetrum were clearly distinguishable from the other species. The strict consensus tree, onophyletic groups. These results concured with previous studies published by several researchers that were based on morphological characteristics.
