Mitochondrial genomes provide insights into the Euholognatha (Insecta: Plecoptera).

Background: Euholognatha is a monophyletic group within stoneflies comprised by a superfamily Nemouroidea and a family Scopuridae. Based on morphological data, the family-level phylogenetic relationships within Euholognatha are widely accepted, but there is still controversy among different molecular studies. To better understand the phylogeny of all six extant euholognathan families, we sequenced and analyzed seven euholognathan mitogenomes.

Comparative mitogenomic analysis of species in the subfamily Amphinemurinae (Plecoptera: Nemouridae) reveal conserved mitochondrial genome organization.

The subfamily Amphinemurinae has five genera in China, with each genus of similar morphology. To gain a better understanding of architecture and evolution of mitogenome in Amphinemurinae, mitogenomes of eight species representing four genera (Amphinemura, Indonemoura, Protonemura and Sphaeronemoura) in the subfamily Amphinemurinae were sequenced, and a comparative mitogenomic analysis of five genera (including a published stonefly genus, Mesonemoura) was carried out. By comparative analysis, we found highly conserved genome organization of ten Amphinemurinae species including genome contents, gene order, nucleotide composition, codon usage, amino acid composition, as well as genome asymmetry.

Mitochondrial genomes of the stoneflies and (Plecoptera, Nemouridae), with a phylogenetic analysis of Nemouroidea.

In this study, two new mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of and from the family Nemouridae (Insecta: Plecoptera) were sequenced. The mitogenome was a 15,739 bp circular DNA molecule, which was smaller than that of (15,778 bp) due to differences in the size of the A+T-rich region. Results show that gene content, gene arrangement, base composition, and codon usage were highly conserved in two species.

The first mitochondrial genome from Scopuridae (Insecta: Plecoptera) reveals structural features and phylogenetic implications.

This study determined the first complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of a stonefly, Scopura longa (Plecoptera: Scopuridae), and reconstructed a phylogeny based on two datasets of mitogenomes in eighteen available stoneflies to examine the relationships among Plecoptera. The complete mitogenome of S. longa is a circular molecule of 15,798bp in size.

Complete Mitochondrial Genome of Suwallia teleckojensis (Plecoptera: Chloroperlidae) and Implications for the Higher Phylogeny of Stoneflies.

Stoneflies comprise an ancient group of insects, but the phylogenetic position of Plecoptera and phylogenetic relations within Plecoptera have long been controversial, and more molecular data is required to reconstruct precise phylogeny. Herein, we present the complete mitogenome of a stonefly, , which is 16146 bp in length and consists of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs) and a control region (CR). Most PCGs initiate with the standard start codon ATN.
