ABSTRACT
Arhopalus oberthuri is a pest which spreads in China, Laos, Japan and some other countries in Asia. The complete mitochondrial genome of A. oberthuri is 15,854 bp in length with 32.1% GC content, including 38.2% A, 20.4% C, 11.7% G, 29.7% T. There are 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNA) and two ribosomal RNA genes (rRNA) encoded in the genome. The graph of phylogenetic analysis gives the information that Arhopalus oberthuri is closer to Arhopalus unicolor. This study provided a scientific basis for the population genetics, phylogeny, and molecular taxonomy of A. oberthuri.
ABSTRACT
Pheropsophus occipitalis MacLeay is a predatory enemy prey heavily on agricultural pests. The length of the complete mitochondrial genome of P. occipitalis was 16,800 bp with 20.4% GC content, including 41.2% A, 11.9% C, 8.4% G, 38.5% T. The genome encoded 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNA), two ribosomal RNA genes (rRNA). Phylogenetic analysis showed that P. occipitalis was clustered with Pheropsophus bimaculatus and Pheropsophus sobrinus. This study provided a scientific basis for the population genetics, phylogeny, and molecular taxonomy of P. occipitalis.
ABSTRACT
Trictenotoma davidi Deyrolle, 1875 is a beetle of the Trictenotomidae family. The length of the complete mitochondria genome of T. davidi was 15,910 bp with 24.1% GC content, including 39.9% A, 15.1% C, 9.0% G, and 36.0% T. The genome encoded 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs, and 2 rRNAs. Phylogenetic analysis showed that T. davidi was closely related to Vincenzellus ruficollis. This study provided useful genetic information for the evolution of T. davidi and Trictenotomidae insects.
