## Abstract Phylogenetic relationships of recent horseshoe crabs including two subfamilies, i.e., Limulinae (__Limulus polyphemus__), and Tachypleinae (__Tachypleus tridentatus, Tachypleus gigas__, and __Carcinoscorpius rotundicauda__), were investigated by amino acid sequence analysis of the 28 am

β¦ Synopsis
This paper presents an essentially new method used to construct phylogenetic trees from related amino acid sequences. The method is based on a new distance measure which describes sequence relationships by means of typical steric and physicochemical properties of the amino acids and is advantageous in some essential points. The method was applied to different sets of protein sequences and the results were compared with other well-established methods.

Bony fishes (Osteichthyes) comprise over 22,000 species, about half of all vertebrate species. In order to investigate the phylogenetic relationships within this vertebrate class, we have studied the only protein whose primary structure is known in a rather large (27) number of fish species belongin
