The complete mitochondrial genome of Melanostoma orientale (Diptera: Syrphidae)

The mitogenome of one dance fly species, Syneches medoganus, was sequenced as the new representative of subfamily Hybotinae. The nearly complete mitogenome was 16128 bp totally, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two rRNA genes, and 22 tRNA genes. The nucleotide composition biased toward A and T, and the overall A þ T was 78.1% of the entirety. All the PCGs started with codon ATT, ATC or ATG, except CO1 using TCG as an initiation codon. Most PCGs terminated with stop codon TAA or TAG except CO2 with an incomplete stop codon T. Bayesian analyses indicated that the monophyly of Hybotinae subfamily group is strongly supported. Subfamily Hybotinae is the sister group of subfamily Tachydromiinae.

“…MW091497), including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, and an A þ Trich region. The gene arrangement and orientation were identical to other congeneric insects (Li et al 2017;Chen et al 2020). The base composition of the whole genome was detected to be 40.7% A, 40.4% T, 8.3% G and 10.7% C, exhibiting a relatively strong AT bias.…”

The complete mitochondrial genome of Syrphus ribesii (Diptera: Syrphoidea: Syrphidae)

Chen

Peng

et al. 2021

The complete mitochondrial genome of Syrphus ribesii was determined in this study. The doublestranded circular DNA molecule was 16,530 bp in length, containing 37 typical genes: 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and an A þ T-rich region. Thirteen PCGs were 11,196 bp in size, encoding 3720 amino acids in total. All the PCGs started with ATN, except the COI used TTG as its initiation codon. Most PCGs terminated with standard codon TAA, while the COI ended with T and the ND5 ended with TA. The lrRNA and srRNA genes were 1341 bp and 793 bp in length, respectively. The A þ T-rich region harbored some typical structures characteristic of the dipterans. The phylogenetic tree showed that Syrphus ribesii was closely related to Eupeodes corollae, and the Syrphidae and Pipunculidae constituted a monophyletic group within the Syrphoidea.

“…To date, 21 complete mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) have been registered in the GenBank (https://www. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/) for the Syrphidae (Cameron et al 2007;Junqueira et al 2016;Pu et al 2017;Li et al 2017;Li and Li 2019;Sonet et al 2019;Chen et al 2020;Yan et al 2020;Zhao and Li 2020). In this study, we sequenced and assembled the complete mitogenome of P. albimanus.…”

The complete mitochondrial genome of Platycheirus albimanus (Diptera: Syrphidae: Syrphinae) and phylogenetic analysis of the Syrphidae

Yan

2021

The complete mitochondrial genome of Platycheirus albimanus (Fabricius, 1781) was sequenced. The length of the mitogenome is 16,648 bp and consists of 37 genes including 22 transfer RNA (tRNAs), 13 protein-coding (PCGs) and 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNAs). The 13 PCGs initiate with the start codon ATN, except for COX1 and ATP6 which use TTG. All of the PCGs ended with TAA, apart from ND4 and ND4L terminated by incomplete T-. The ML tree based on complete mitogenomes from 25 species (22 Syrphidae and 3 outgroup taxa) suggests that the tribe Melanostomini is more closely related to the Syrphini. The phylogenetic analysis supports the monophyly of Syrphinae, and the paraphyly of the Eristalinae. This mitogenome information for P. albimanus could facilitate future studies of evolutionarily related insects.
