“…For instance, Whiting et al (2003) and Buckley et al (2009) did not recover monophyletic groups, such as Heteropterygidae, that have now been strongly supported as monophyletic with increased taxon sampling (Bradler et al, 2015;Goldberg et al, 2015;Robertson et al, 2018). Even the analyses of mitochondrial genomes (Kômoto et al, 2011(Kômoto et al, , 2012Tomita et al, 2011;Zhou et al, 2017) did not allow for any general systematic conclusion due to their non-representative, negligible taxon sampling.…”

“…The wingless Nearctic walking-stick genus Timema is often recovered as the sister group to the remaining phasmids (the Euphasmatodea) [3,5,8,9,[17][18][19][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. In contrast, some authors considered the Timema as a separate lineage [6,18,20]. [6] classified Phasmatodea into two suborders, namely Agathemerodea and Verophasmatodea.…”

Phasmatodea represents an order of hemimetabolous insects. This group includes species with extreme forms of masquerade crypsis, whereby they imitate twigs, bark, lichen, moss, and leaves. In this study, we sequenced and annotated three mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) from Phasmatodea. The lengths of the novel mitogenomes range from 14,162 bp to 15,879 bp. The gene content and organization correspond to those inferred for the ancestral insect. We conducted phylogenetic analyses together with the existing mitogenomes of polyneopterans and mayflies. In most cases, the Phasmatodea was non-monophyletic, with Embioptera and Zoraptera nested inside. The mitogenome sequences from Embioptera and Zoraptera suffered from high substitution rates and displayed very long branches in phylogenetic trees. The monophyletic Phasmatodea was recovered only when the analysis employed the site-heterogeneous CAT-GTR model in PhyloBayes and used the nucleotide dataset PCG_nt. The Euphasmatodea was well established by various data types and inference methods. In addition, the clade Heteropterygidae and the subfamilies Lonchodinae and Necrosciinae were strongly supported. The Australasian clade Lanceocercata was recovered across analyses. However, the Clitumninae was non-monophyletic.

“…However, its genetic basis remains completely unknown. To date, the only available molecular data resources for leaf insects are two mitogenomes deposited in GenBank (Komoto et al 2011;Zhou et al 2017).…”

“…The mitogenomic sequences (including the nucleotide sequences of 13 PCGs and two rRNAs) of newly generated in this study (P. westwoodii), and previously reported from 22 Phasmatodea species (Mikheyev et al 2017;Zhou et al 2017) were used to reconstruct phylogenetic tree with Aposthonia japonica and Aposthonia borneensis (Embioptera: Oligotomidae) as outgroups. 13 PCGs and two rRNA were aligned by MEGA-X (Kumar et al 2018), respectively.…”

The nearly complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Phyllium westwoodii, a typical leaf mimic insect in Phasmatodea, was obtained in this study. This mitogenome is 17,222 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), two ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs) and almost complete control regions. All PCGs initiate with 'ATN' except for NAD4L that uses 'TTG' as the start codon, and terminate with 'TAA' except for COX2 that uses a single 'T' residue as the stop codon. The phylogenetic analysis based on the concatenated sequences of 13 PCGs and two rRNAs shows that P. westwoodii is closer to Phyllium tibetense than Phyllium giganteum.
