“…According to the similarity, we can choose different mt genes to conduct intraspecific or interspecific studies. The mt genome of C. dimidiatus and C. pilosellus sequenced here was of a similar gene organization, order, and size to the published mt genome of Coleoptera stored grain pests, e.g., Cryptolestes ferrugineus (Stephens) was 15,511 bp [31] and Tribolium castaneum Herbst was 15,881 bp [32]. Here, the first two mt genome sequences for species within the genus Carpophilus were reported, and more data from other species in this genus will be needed for further research.…”

Carpophilus dimidiatus (Fabricius, 1792) and Carpophilus pilosellus Motschulsky are two sibling species and economically important storage pests worldwide. The first complete mitochondrial (mt) genomes of both were sequenced using next-generation sequencing. The mt genomes of C. dimidiatus and C. pilosellus are circular, with total lengths of 15,717 bp and 15,686 bp, respectively. Gene order and content for both species are similar to what has been observed in ancestral insects and consist of 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and a control region. Comparing the mt genome data of C. dimidiatus and C. pilosellus, they are similar in organization, arrangement patterns, GC contents, transfer RNA (tRNA) secondary structures, and codon usage patterns. Small differences were noted with regards to the nucleotide similarity of coding regions and the control region. This is the first publication of the complete mitochondrial genomes of two sibling species. The mt genome sequences can supplement the nuclear markers of the Carpophilus genus in research species identification, system evolution, and population genetic structure, and also will be valuable molecular marker for further genetic studies.

Helotid beetles are commonly found in places where sap flows from tree trunks and in crevices in bark. The Helotidae family is a rare and primitive group of Cucujoidea. To date, no complete mitochondrial (mt) genome has been sequenced for this family. To better understand the characteristics of the mt genome and the evolution of Cucujoidea, we sequenced and annotated the complete mt genomes of Helota thoracica (Ritsema, 1895) and Helota yehi Lee, 2017 using next-generation sequencing. These are the first record of Helotidae mt genomes. The RNA secondary structures of both species were also predicted in this study. The mt genomes of H. thoracica and H. yehi are circular, with total lengths of 16,112 bp and 16,401 bp, respectively. After comparing the mt genomes of H. thoracica and H. yehi, we observed the gene arrangement, codon usage patterns, base content, and RNA secondary structures of both species to be similar, which has also been noted in other Coleoptera insects. The nucleotide sequence of the coding regions and the control region has small differences. The phylogenetic analysis indicated that Helotidae and Protocucujidae are sister groups and revealed the relationship between seven families; however, the validity of the two series (Erotylid series and Nitidulid series) as larger groups in the superfamily was not supported. The mt phylogenomic relationships have strong statistical support. Therefore, the division of Cucujoidea into series should be re-examined. Our results will provide a better understanding of the mt genome and phylogeny of Helotidae and Cucujoidea and will provide valuable molecular markers for further genetic studies.
