Mitochondrial genome of (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) and phylogenetic analysis within Entiminae.

In this study, we sequenced and annotated the nearly complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of (Coleoptera: Curculionidae). This mitogenome was 14,333 bp long and encoded 13 protein-coding genes, 19 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), and two ribosomal RNA unit genes. Gene rearrangements were presented in a tRNA cluster of six tRNAs between and , i.e. the ancestral order ARNSEF was changed to be RNSAEF. All tRNAs had a typical secondary cloverleaf structure, except for which lacked the dihydrouridine arm. The Bayesian phylogenetic tree of 11 Entiminae species based on the concatenated nucleotide sequences of 13 PCGs showed that and formed a clade which was at the basal position in the Entiminae phylogeny.
