“…A nonstandard initiation codon GTA was observed in ND1 in the mitogenome of white N. patrioticus . Unusual initiation codons have previously been reported in many animals, including ND2 of Sellanucheza jaegeri , which starts with TTG, and COXI of Botyodes diniasalis , which starts with CGA [ 35 , 36 ]. The termination codons of the two mitogenomes are identical; 10 PCGs ( COXI , COXII , ATP8 , ATP6 , COXIII , ND6 , CYTB , ND4L , ND4 , ND2 ) used TAN (TAA, TAG) as termination codon, and the other PCGs ( ND3 , ND1 , ND5 ) used T as the termination codon.…”

There has been debate about whether individuals with different color phenotypes should have different taxonomic status. In order to determine whether the different color phenotypes of Nedyopus patrioticus require separate taxonomic status or are simply synonyms, here, the complete mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of two different colored N. patrioticus, i.e., red N. patrioticus and white N. patrioticus, are presented. The two mitogenomes were 15,781 bp and 15,798 bp in length, respectively. Each mitogenome contained 13 PCGs, 19 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs, and 1 CR, with a lack of trnI, trnL2, and trnV compared to other Polydesmida species. All genes were located on a single strand in two mitogenomes. Mitochondrial DNA analyses revealed that red N. patrioticus and white N. patrioticus did not show clear evolutionary differences. Furthermore, no significant divergence was discovered by means of base composition analysis. As a result, we suggest that white N. patrioticus might be regarded as a synonym for red N. patrioticus. The current findings confirmed the existence of color polymorphism in N. patrioticus, which provides exciting possibilities for future research. It is necessary to apply a combination of molecular and morphological methods in the taxonomy of millipedes.
