“…Additionally, the atp6 and atp8 of the eight Dactylispa species have the same respective lengths of 663 bp and 153 bp. Similar intergenic spacers were also found in other Coleoptera, as well as in other insect orders [51]. Although these intergenic spacers have been hypothesized to be binding sites for translation termination [52], more research is still required to ascertain the functions of conserved noncoding regions in the mitogenomes of Coleoptera.…”

The taxonomic classification of Dactylispa, a large genus of leaf-mining beetles, is problematic because it is currently based on morphology alone. Here, the first eight mitochondrial genomes of Dactylispa species, which were used to construct the first molecular phylogenies of this genus, are reported. The lengths of the eight mitogenomes range from 17,189 bp to 20,363 bp. All of the mitochondrial genomes include 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs), and 1 A + T-rich region. According to the nonsynonymous/synonymous mutation ratio (Ka/Ks) of all PCGs, the highest and the lowest evolutionary rates were found for atp8 and cox1, respectively, which is a common phenomenon among animals. According to relative synonymous codon usage, UUA(L) has the highest frequency. With two Gonophorini species as the outgroup, mitogenome-based phylogenetic trees of the eight Dactylispa species were constructed using maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian inference (BI) methods based on the PCGs, tRNAs, and rRNAs. Two DNA-based phylogenomic inferences and one protein-based phylogenomic inference support the delimitation of the subgenera Dactylispa s. str. and Platypriella as proposed in the system of Chen et al. (1986). However, the subgenus Triplispa is not recovered as monophyletic. The placement of Triplispa species requires further verification and testing with more species. We also found that both adult body shape and host plant relationship might explain the subgeneric relationships among Dactylispa beetles to a certain degree.

We sequenced and assembled the complete mitochondrial genome of Lucanus chengyuani, from the Alishan, Chiayi County, Taiwan. The length of the complete mitogenome of L. chengyuani is 16,926 bp and the mitogenome contains 13 protein-coding, 22 tRNA, and 2 rDNA genes. Nucleotide compositions of the whole mitogenome of L. chengyuani are 38.37% for A, 27.96% for T, 23.03% for C, and 10.637% for G. The AT and GC skewness of mitogenome sequence are 0.157 and-0.368, showing the Askew and C-skew. The reconstructed phylogenetic relationships of 9 Lucanidae species based on 13 mitochondrial protein-coding genes are highly supported. The clade including Neolucanus maximus and Odontolabis cuvera is sister to the rest of the stag beetle clades, which contains L. chengyuani and L. mazama. Mitogenomic data from this study will provide useful information for further studies for the population genetics, speciation, biogeography, and conservation of L. chengyuani in the future.

“…In addition, the positive strand has the lower content of guanine and thymine (G + T = 47%), indicating that this is the light strand (L), according to Lima and Prosdocimi (2017). The number, orientation and order of the genes are similar to those of most insect species (Cameron, 2014;Sheffield et al, 2009), as well as to those of the beetle species Dichotomius schiffleri (Amorim et al, 2017) and Priasilpha obscura (Sheffield et al, 2008). Within the family Scarabaeidae, they only differ from those observed in the genus Cyphonistes (Dynastinae), which possesses an inversion between the trnaA and trnaR genes, considered an apomorphy (Timmermans et al, 2016).…”

Several studies about the phylogenetic relationships of the Scarabaeinae subfamily (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) have been performed, but some phylogenetic uncertainties persist including the relationship and monophyly of different tribes and some genera. The aim of this study was to characterize the mitogenome of Coprophanaeus ensifer in order to establish its position within the Scarabaeidae family and to contribute to the resolution of some phylogenetic uncertainties. The mitogenome was sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq 4000, assembled using the Mitobim software and annotated in MITOS WebServer. The phylogenetic trees were reconstructed by Bayesian inference. The C. ensifer mitogenome is a molecule of 14,964 bp that contains the number and organization of the genes similar to those of most Coleoptera species. Phylogenetic reconstruction suggests monophyly of the tribe Phanaeini and supports the hypothesis that Coprini is a sister group of Phanaeini. The results also revealed the position of the tribe Oniticellini which is grouped with Onthophagini and Onitini. The geographic distribution of these species that form the most ancestral clade suggests with Scarabaeinae originated in Africa.
