We have collected two species of firefly, Hotaria papariensis and Hotaria unmunsana to investigate their patterns of appearances and distributions from May to July in 1999 at 18 localities in Korea. A total of 1,096 individuals of these two species were collected: H. papariensis 584 and H unmunsana 512. The highest appearance level of adult firefly was different from each altitude. They appeared from the beginning of June to the end of June at 200 m sea level, the middle of June to the end of June at 200∼400 m, the end of June to the beginning of July at 400∼600 m and the beginning of July to the middle of July at 600∼800 m, respectively, All regions of these two species were cohabit, but Cheju-do region is the exceptional case. H papariensis was dominant at the northern parts and H unmunsana was the southern parts of Korean peninsula.

Luminescent patterns of the firefly Hotaria papariensis were classified into routine flashing and courtship flashing, and they were analyzed into duration and period. Flash period of male was changed from 1.26 sec (routine flashing) to 1.12 sec (courtship flashing) and the female's was changed from 2.99 sec to 1.06 sec in this species. Duration time of male increased approximately 1.4-fold from 0.12 sec (routine flashing) to 0.17 sec (courtship flashing) and period of male decreased 0.88-fold from 1.26 sec (routine flashing) to 1.12 sec (courtship flashing). Duration of female increased about 1.5-fold from 0.15. sec (routine flashing) to 0.19 sec (courtship flashing) and period of female decreased almost 0.35 from 2.99 sec (routine flashing) to 1.06 sec (courtship flashing). Hertz frequencies of them were 0.8 (routine flashing of male), 0.9 (courtship flashing of male), 0.3 (routine flashing of female) and 0.9 (courtship flashing of female), respectively. The spectral emission of H. papariensis was detected at 400 nm to 700 nm, and the highest peak wave length of this species was approximately 600 nm, but some 500 to 600 nm wave lengths were present.

Genetic divergence and phylogenetic relationships among the major Korean fireflies (Hotaria papariensis, Luciola lateralis, and Pyrocoelia rufa) were studied. A portion of mitochondrial COI (403 bp) and 165 rRNA (490~504 bp) genes were sequenced, and the GenBank-registered, homologous 165 rRNA sequences of Japanese fireflies were compared (27 species of Lampyridae, one of Lycidae, and one of Rhgophthalmidae). Greatest DNA and/or amino acid sequence divergence was found when P rufa, belonging to Lampyrinae was compared with H. papariensis and L. lateralis, both belong-ing to Luciolinae, confirming the current taxonomic status of the species. In the PAUP and PHYLIP analyses with 165 rRNA data, grouping of the two geographic samples of H. papariensis with H. tsushimana validate the use of generic name, Hotaria. Nevertheless, lack of sister-group relationship of the two geographic samples of H. papariensis renders further investigation on this group . Although the Korean and Japanese L. lateralis formed a strong monophyletic group, a substantial genetic differentiation was detected between them (2.9% of 165 rRNA gene sequence divergence). Finally, the geographic samples of Korean p. rufa strongly formed a group with Japanese p. rufa, warranting the use of generic name, Pyrocoelia, but the genetic distance observed between the Cheju-Island individual and all others requires further investigation on this subject. Summarized, this study supports the current taxonomic status of the Korean fireflies in that each respectively formed a strong monophyletic group with its own species or genus.

파파리반딧불이(H papariensis)의 생태학적 특성을 규명하고자 서식처 환경, 개체군, 고도별 출현양상과 지역별 분포양상, 발광양상, 교미행동을 조사하였다. 춘천시 서면 지암리에서 H. papariensis 성충의 개체군 밀도를 1998년 5월부터 7월에 걸쳐 조사하였으며, 전체 채집 개체수는 703개체였다. 이중 수컷은 680개체, 암컷은 23개체를 채집하였다. 지암리에서 전체 출현기간은 50여 일로 추정되었다. 처음 출현한 날로부터 2주에서 3주 사이에 최대 정점을 나타내었으며, 이후 점진적으로 감소하는 출현양상을 나타내었다. 수컷 680개체중 47개체는 재 포획되었으며, 이로서 추정된 최대수명은 6일 이상, 평균수명은 3.26일로 나타났으며, 수컷과 암컷의 상대적인 성비는 27.5/l로 나타났다. 한국산 Hotaria속 반딧불이 2종의 고도별 출현 및 지역별 분포양상에 대하여 1999년 5월부터 7월까지 18개 지역을 선정하여 조사하였다. 전체 채집개체수는 1096개체였으며 이중 H. papariensis는 584개체, H unmunsana는 512개체였다 두 종은 제주도를 제외한 전 조사지역에서 공서 하고 있었으며 H. papariensis는 북쪽지역에 우세하게 분포하였고 H. unmunsana는 남쪽지역에 우세하게 분포하는 양상을 나타내었다. 성충 반딧불이의 최고 출현성기는 고도가 높아질수록 늦어지는 경향을 나타내었다. 고도별로 200m 이하 지역에서는 6월 초순에서 중순, 200-400m 지역에서는 6월 중순에서 말경, 400-600m 지역에서는 6월말 경부터 7월 초순, 600-800m 지역에서는 7월 초순부터 중순에 각각 최고 성기를 나타내었다. H. papariensis의 암컷과 수컷의 발광양상을 분석하고자 정지발광과 구애 발광을 구분하여 조사하였고 각각의 발광지속시간과 발광주기를 구분하여 측정하였다. 수컷의 발광지속시간은 정지발광(0.12초)보다 구애발광(0.17초)에서 1.4배 증가하였으며 암컷의 발광지속시간은 정지발광(0.15초)보다 구애발광(0.19초)에서 1.5배 증가하였다. 발광주기는 수컷에서 정지발광(1.26초)보다 구애발광(1.12초)에서 0.88배 감소하였고, 암컷에서 정지발광(2.99초)보다 구애발광(1.06초)에서 0.35배 감소하였다. 발광양상에서 발광주파수는 수짓의 정지발광에서 0.8 Hz, 수컷 구애발광에서 0.9 Hz, 암컷의 정지발광에서 0.3 Hz, 암컷의 구애발광에서 0.9 Hz로 각각 나타났다. H. papariensis의 발광파장영역은 400 nm에서 700 nm에 이르는 모든 영역에서 확인되었으며 가장 높은 첨두치는 600 nm에 있고 500에서 600 nm 사이의 파장대가 가장 두드러지게 나타났다. 발광양상과 어우러진 교미행동은 Hp system과 같은 결과를 얻었다.
