Popis: Phylogenetic relationships of the Chugoku-Kyushu and Shikoku groups of the Japanese spinous loach, Cobitis takatsuensis, among the diploid congeners in Japan, C. biwae and Cobitis sp. complex with Niwaella delicata as an outgroup, were investigated by analyzing 20 protein-coding loci. The two groups of C. takatsuensis are clearly diverged genetically, with the genetic distance corresponding to the species level (average D = 0.27). The two groups form a monophyletic cluster (bootstrap probability, P = 94.9%) that is a sister cluster of C. biwae (P = 63.1%). The monophyletic cluster of the Cobitis sp. complex (P = 93.2%) is the most distantly related in the genus. The present results differ mostly from the mitochondrial phylogeny previously known in which the Chugoku-Kyushu group of C. takatsuensis is connected to the eastern group of C. biwae and the Shikoku group is connected to the Cobitis sp. complex with the western group of C. biwae. The contradiction between the allozymic and mitochondrial phylogenies suggests that the Shikoku group of C. takatsuensis and the western group of C. biwae received mitochondrial introgression from the Cobitis sp. complex.
