萤火虫（学名：Luciola substriata，鞘翅目：萤科）是一种水生萤火虫，其幼虫栖息在池塘或湖泊中。在这里，我们提出了完整的线粒体（mt）基因组的萤火虫（GenBank登录号KP 313820），并提供其注释。该环状基因组长16,248 bp，包含13个蛋白质编码基因、22个转运RNA基因、2个核糖体RNA基因和一个非编码AT富集区。与其他萤火虫物种相似，该线粒体基因组的碱基组成也偏向A和T（44.09% A，34.00% T，12.89% C和9.01% G）。所有13个蛋白质编码基因都以典型的线粒体起始密码子开始，并以常见的终止密码子TAA或TAG或单个T终止。非编码区AT富集区（1636 bp）包括一个（A）（20）、两个（T）（15）串联重复序列和一个（AAT）（5）元件。这种线粒体基因组序列将促进未来对萤火虫进化的更好理解。
The firefly, Luciola substriata (Coleoptera: Lampyridae), is an aquatic firefly species, whose larvae inhabit ponds or lakes. Here we present the complete mitochondrial (mt) genome of the firefly (GenBank accession number KP313820) and provide its annotation. This circular genome is 16,248 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and a non-coding AT-rich region. Similar to other firefly species, the base composition of this mitochondrial genome is also biased toward A and T (44.09% A, 34.00% T, 12.89% C, and 9.01% G). All 13 protein-coding genes start with a typical mitochondrial start codon, and terminate with a usual stop codon TAA, or TAG or a single T. The non-coding AT-rich region (1636 bp in length) include one (A)(20), and two (T)(15) tandem repeats, and one (AAT)(5) element. This mitochondrial genome sequence will promote a better understanding for firefly evolution in the future.
