Genome-wide phylogenetic analysis and expansion of gene families involved in detoxification in Smittia aterrima (Meigen)and Smittia pratorum (Goetghebuer) (Diptera, Chironomidae).

Smittia aterrima (Meigen, 1818) and Smittia pratorum (Goetghebuer, 1927) are important indicator insects for aquatic environments, showing extensive tolerance to the environment. However, the genome-wide phylogenetic relationships and characteristics of the detoxification mechanisms in S. aterrima and S.

Two new species of (Diptera, Chironomidae) from Oriental China, delineated with morphology and COI sequences.

Two new species, Macropelopia (Macropelopia) excavata Xu & Fu, and Macropelopia (Macropelopia) quadrimacula Xu & Fu, , are described as male adults. A key to identify the males of from China is provided. Furthermore, in order to ascertain the genetic distance between these species and their morphological characteristics, mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene sequences were uploaded to the National Center for Biotechnology Information.

Two chromosome-level genomes of Smittia aterrima and Smittia pratorum (Diptera, Chironomidae).

Chironomids are one of the most abundant aquatic insects and are widely distributed in various biological communities. However, the lack of high-quality genomes has hindered our ability to study the evolution and ecology of this group. Here, we used Nanopore long reads and Hi-C data to produce two chromosome-level genomes from mixed genomic data.

Comparative mitogenome analyses of twelve non-biting flies and provide insights into the phylogeny of Chironomidae (Diptera: Culicomorpha).

The family Chironomidae is represented by seven subfamilies in China, among which Chironominae and Orthocladiinae are the most diverse. To gain a better understanding of the architecture and evolution of the mitogenomes of Chironomidae, we sequenced mitogenomes of twelve species (including two published species) of the two subfamilies Chironominae and Orthocladiinae, and comparative mitogenomic analyses were performed. Thus, we identified highly conserved genome organization of twelve species with regard to genome content, nucleotide and amino acid composition, codon usage, and gene characteristics.

Complete mitochondrial genome of a Eurytopic midge, (Diptera: Chironomidae).

The complete mitochondrial genome of was sequenced and annotated, and its general features and base composition were analyzed. The mitogenome was 15,896 bp long, comprising 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transport RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 1 control region. The phylogenetic relationships based on the concatenated nucleotide sequences of 17 metagenomes from families Chironomidae, Ceratopogonidae, and Simuliidae were reconstructed.

 Winnertz species from Hunan Province, Oriental China, delineated with morphological and 16S rDNA data (Diptera, Chironomidae).

The genus Winnertz, 1846 from Hunan Province in Oriental China is reviewed. Four new species, Fu , Fu , Fu , and Fu are described and illustrated based on adult males. Sequence data from the 16S rDNA gene were used to infer relationships between these species and complement morphological delineation.

Complete mitochondrial genome of (Diptera: Chironomidae).

The complete mitochondrial genome of (Meigen 1818) was sequenced and annotated, and its general features and base composition were analyzed. The phylogenetic relationships of the families Chironomidae, Simuliidae, Sciaridae and Culicidae based on 25 metagenomes were reconstructed using maximum likelihood (ML) methods based on the concatenated nucleotide sequences, the phylogenetic analysis showed that belongs family Chironomidae, which is consistent with the traditional morphological classification.

Complete mitochondrial genome of (Coleoptera: Curculionidae).

Chao is an important insect pest on many plants which belong to genus The complete mitochondrial genome of was sequenced and analyzed. The phylogenetic relationships between and other 41 species in the family Curculionidae were reconstructed using maximum likelihood (ML) methods based on the concatenated nucleotide sequences, the phylogenetic analysis showed that is closely related to , which is in accordance with the traditional morphological classification.
