Abstract

Phylogenetic relationships among 37 Japanese skipper species were analyzed by comparing 787 bp of the mitochondrial gene encoding NADH dehydrogenase subunit 5 (M)5) and 1,110 bp of the cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 gene (COP). Phylogenetic trees of all 37 species of skippers representing four subfamilies, including two pyrgine and seven hesperiine genus groups sensu Evans, were constructed using maximum parsimony (MP) and maximum likelihood (ML) methods. Our results mostly support the phylogenetic inferences of genus groups proposed by Evans based on morphological data.
