To infer the differentiation of Japanese Davidius dragonflies, we investigated the genealogies of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene (COI) and the nuclear ribosomal RNA gene region encompassing 18S, ITS1, 5.8S, and ITS2 sequences for three species endemic to Japan--Davidius nanus, D. fujiama, and D. moiwanus--as well as D. lunatus from the Korean Peninsula. According to the mitochondrial and...
