“…Moreover, the monophyly of the ordinal groups Scutigeromorpha, Scolopendromorpha, Geophilomorpha, and Lithobiomorpha was forcefully advocated in both BI and ML trees. Then, the Scolopendromorpha was supported as a sister clade of (Lithobiomorpha + Geophilomorpha), consistent with the research of Hu et al [59], although it was in conflict with a well-corroborated scheme of interrelationships for Pleurostigmophora that Lithobiomorpha was the sister clade of (Scolopendromorpha + Geophilomorpha) [4][5][6][7]79,80]. For Scutigeromorpha, we found that all T. tuberculata clustered together and the clade of (((T. tuberculata NC + T. tuberculata JN) + T. tuberculata NY) + T. tuberculata DL) was the sister clade of S. coleoptrata.…”

“…To date, the only mitochondrial genome of Chilopoda, Scutigera coleoptrata [ 56 ], was public in the NCBI. In this study, the mitochondrial genomes of 17 chilopods including T. tuberculata , S. coleoptrata [ 56 ], two Geophilomorpha species [ 57 ], four Scolopendromorpha species [ 58 , 59 ] as well as three Lithobiomorphas species [ 60 , 61 , 62 ] were selected as the ingroup taxa in order to investigate the phylogenetic relationships within Chilopoda. Since the diplopod was considered as a more distant and suitable outgroup to root the centipede tree [ 8 , 11 ], Anaulaciulus koreanus (Helminthomorpha: Julidae) [ 63 ] and Spirobolus bungii (Helminthomorpha: Spirobolidae) (MT767838) were chosen as the outgroup taxa for phylogenetic analyses.…”

Based on morphological characteristics to make species identification, the cryptic species of the Scutigeromorpha can be greatly underestimated. The mitochondrial genome provides a desirable tool for the biological identifications and the discovery of the cryptic species. The capacity to acquire mitochondrial genome sequences has substantially improved in recent years using next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology. On the basis of the next-generation sequencing, we obtained four complete mitochondrial genomes of Thereuonema tuberculata (Wood, 1862) from Nanyang, Henan Province (NY), Nanchang, Jiangxi Province (NC), Jinan, Shandong Province (JN), and Dali, Yunnan Province (DL) in China with GenBank numbers OK513221, OL449685, ON058988 and ON058989, respectively. The lengths of the four mitochondrial genomes ranged from 14,903 to 14,909 bp. The composition and order of genes of the four mitochondrial genomes were identical to the published mitochondrial genome of Scutigera coleoptrata (Linnaeus, 1758) (Scutigeromorpha: Scutigerdae). It was the first time that the tandem repeats in the control region were detected in Scutigeromorpha. We also calculated the corrected pairwise genetic distance of four complete mitochondrial genomes of T. tuberculata, ranging from 7.7 to 15.2%. The results showed that the T.tuberculata NC belonged to the typical sample of T. tuberculata, and T. tuberculata DL was hypothesized as a cryptic species of T. tuberculata. Meanwhile, T. tuberculata NY and T. tuberculata JN were hypothesized as potential cryptic species of T. tuberculata in this study. In both BI and ML trees, the monophyly of Scutigeromorpha, Scolopendromorpha, Geophilomorpha, and Lithobiomorpha was forcefully advocated. Moreover, Scutigeromorpha was recovered as the sister clade of (Scolopendromorpha + (Lithobiomorpha + Geophilomorpha)). Four specimens of T. tuberculata were clustered into one clade, which was the sister to the clade of S. coleoptrata.

“…Characterized by small size, stable gene content, high evolutionary rate, relatively conserved gene arrangement, high information content, and maternal inheritance, animal mitogenomes are powerful tools used to investigate molecular evolution, phylogenetic relationships, and protective biology for many animals ( Yu et al 2017 ; Zhang et al 2018 ; Song et al 2019 ; Hu et al 2020 ; Wu et al 2020 ).…”

Lepus yarkandensis is a national second-class protected animal endemic to China and distributed only in the hot and arid Tarim Basin in Xinjiang. We sequenced and described the complete mitogenome of L. yarkandensis to analyze its characteristics and phylogeny. The species’ DNA is a 17,047 bp circular molecule that includes 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and one control region. The overall base composition was as follows: A, 31.50%; T, 29.40%; G, 13.30% and C, 25.80%, with a high A+T bias of 60.9%. In the PCGs, ND6 had deviation ranges for AT skew (–0.303) and GC skew (0.636). The Ka/Ks values of ND1 (1.067) and ND6 (1.352) genes were >1, indicating positive selection, which might play an important role in the adaptation of L. yarkandensis to arid and hot environments. The conserved sequence block, the central conserved domain, and the extended termination-associated sequences of the control region and their features were identiﬁed and described. The phylogenetic tree based on the complete mitogenome showed that L. yarkandensis was closely related to the sympatric Lepus tibetanus pamirensis. These novel datasets of L. yarkandensis can supply basic data for phylogenetic studies of Lepus spp., apart from providing essential and important resource for further genetic research and the protection of this species.

“…All PCGs started with ATN. The AT contents of the PCGs of Chilopoda ranged from 59.6% ( S. dehaani ) [ 43 ] to 77.2% ( S. mutilans ) [ 41 ]. The A + T contents of the PCGs in the mitogenomes of M. marmoratus and S. subspinipes were 67.1% and 71.6%, respectively.…”

“…In previous studies, the mitochondrial gene orders of Scolopendra dehaani , Scolopendra mutilans , S. maritima , Scutigera coleoptrata, and Spirobolus bungii were distinctly different from those of any other myriapod species [ 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 ]. A high rate of rearrangement makes the Myriapoda an ideal class group for exploring the interactions between gene rearrangements and phylogenetic relationships.…”

Due to the limitations of taxon sampling and differences in results from the available data, the phylogenetic relationships of the Myriapoda remain contentious. Therefore, we try to reconstruct and analyze the phylogenetic relationships within the Myriapoda by examining mitochondrial genomes (the mitogenome). In this study, typical circular mitogenomes of Mecistocephalus marmoratus and Scolopendra subspinipes were sequenced by Sanger sequencing; they were 15,279 bp and 14,637 bp in length, respectively, and a control region and 37 typical mitochondrial genes were annotated in the sequences. The results showed that all 13 PCGs started with ATN codons and ended with TAR codons or a single T; what is interesting is that the gene orders of M. marmoratus have been extensively rearranged compared with most Myriapoda. Thus, we propose a simple duplication/loss model to explain the extensively rearranged genes of M. marmoratus, hoping to provide insights into mitogenome rearrangement events in Myriapoda. In addition, our mitogenomic phylogenetic analyses showed that the main myriapod groups are monophyletic and supported the combination of the Pauropoda and Diplopoda to form the Dignatha. Within the Chilopoda, we suggest that Scutigeromorpha is a sister group to the Lithobiomorpha, Geophilomorpha, and Scolopendromorpha. We also identified a close relationship between the Lithobiomorpha and Geophilomorpha. The results also indicate that the mitogenome can be used as an effective mechanism to understand the phylogenetic relationships within Myriapoda.
