“…Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has been used extensively as DNA markers in population and evolution studies (Harrison, ; Castro et al ., ) and cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) has been noted as the best among the protein coding genes in insects (De Mandal et al ., ). The complete sequence of the mitochondrial COI of Z. tau complex has a total length of 1534 bp (Yong et al ., ).…”

1 The tephritid fruit fly Zeugodacus tau is a serious agriculture pest, especially of cucurbits in Thailand, where it is classified as a complex species of nine siblings (Z. tau A, B, C, D, E, F, G, I and J). 2 Based on single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis, 33 distinct mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (mtCOI) haplotypes were found in three sibling species, Z. tau A, C and J, in Thailand. Genetic structure analysis of the population revealed relatively large genetic differences among these sibling species, reflecting a tendency toward speciation. 3 The maximum likelihood tree and median-joining network reconstructed from the mtCOI sequences of 33 haplotypes supported the separation of these three sibling species within the Z. tau complex. 4 The three-level hierarchical analysis of molecular variance based on geographical regions and the Mantel test for isolation-by-distance showed significant genetic structuring of the Z. tau complex in Thailand. 5 However, the genetic differentiation among geographical groups was rather low, which may be reasonably explained by natural and human mediated dispersal, as well as host associated differentiation. 6 The SSCP analysis on the population genetic structure of Z. tau species complex in the present study should benefit pest management.

“…Mitogenomes, the entire mitochondrial genome, have been widely used as a target molecule to elucidate different aspects of metazoa species evolution such as population dynamics and phylogenetic relationships 12 . Complete mitogenomes are reliable tools to be used as a molecular marker in ecological and evolutionary studies because they provide genes with different evolutionary rates such as the most conserved rRNA genes (12S and 16S), the intermediate ND1-6 genes and the fast evolving Cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) gene, the most used molecular marker for species identification, allowing an accurate establishment of both ancient and recent speciation events [13][14][15] . In addition, mitogenomes have a uniparental heritage, high copy number per cells and single-copy genes which facilitates DNA recovery and phylogenetic analysis [16][17][18] .…”

Mosquitoes are insects of medical importance due their role as vectors of different pathogens to humans and other mammals. There is a lack of information about the evolutionary history and phylogenetic positioning of the majority of mosquitoes species. Here we sequenced the mitogenomes of mosquitoes species through low-coverage sequencing and data mining. A total of 37 draft mitogenomes were assembled representing 11 genera and 16 of those were sequenced for the first time. The recovered mitogenomes showed a coverage breadth average of 81.24%. Most of the species were clustered in monophyletic clades with other members of their own genus with exception of the Aedini tribe which was paraphyletic corroborating other findings. We established for the first time the monophyletic status of eight species from the tribe Mansoniini including both Coquillettidia and Mansonia genus and established the basal positioning of Aedeomyiini and Uranotaeniini tribes regarding the Culicinae subfamily. Molecular clock dated the Culicidae family emergence around 273 MYA and the split between Anophelinae and Culicinae subfamily around 182 MYA in the Jurassic period. Low-coverage sequencing is effective to recover mitogenomes, establish phylogenetic knowledge generating basic fundamental information to the understanding of the role of these species as pathogen vectors.

“…The control region plays a role in the replication and transcription of mitogenome. Several studies have demonstrated the utilities and potential of mitochondrial PCGs (cox1 and cox2) as barcode markers in the order Lepidoptera (5). Few studies have also elucidated the comparative analysis among the domesticated and non-domesticated lepidopteran mitogenomes (6,7).…”

Muga (Antheraea assamensis) is an economically important silkmoth endemic to North-eastern part of India and is the producer of the strongest known commercial silk. However, there is a scarcity of -omics data for understanding the organism at a molecular level. Our present study decodes the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of A. assamensis and presents comparative analysis with other lepidopterans. Mitogenome is a 15,272 bp long AT rich (~80.2%) molecule containing 37 genes (13 PCGs, 22 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs) and a 328 bp long control region. The overall mitogenome arrangement was similar to the other lepidopterans. Two PCGs cox1 and cox2 were found to have CGA and GTG as start codons respectively like some
