Mitochondrial genome of (Coleoptera: Chrysomeloidea: Cerambycidae) and phylogenetic analysis.

The red-necked longhorn beetle is a major pest of peach orchards. In this study, we sequenced and analyzed the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of . This mitogenome was 15,760 bp long and encoded 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs) and two ribosomal RNA unit genes (rRNAs). Gene order was conserved and identical to most other previously sequenced Cerambycidae. Most PCGs of have the conventional start codons ATN (six ATT, five ATG and one ATC), with the exception of (TTG). Except for three genes (, and ) end with the incomplete stop codon T-, all other PCGs terminated with the stop codon TAA or TAG. The whole mitogenome exhibited heavy AT nucleotide bias (74.3%). Phylogenetic analysis positioned in a well-supported clade within the subfamily Cerambycinae with (tribe Xystrocerini). These results support the currently accepted taxonomy and provide a better understanding of the phylogenetic analysis of the Cerambycidae.
