Department of Cryobiology and Germplasm of Animals from Kazakhstan, Institute of Zoology of Republic of Kazakhstan, 93 al-Farabi Str., Almaty 050060; and Cryoprotect LLC, Innovative Center Skolkovo, Merzlotnaya str., 29-43, Yakutsk 677010, Russia.

Background: Cold hardiness of insects from extremely cold regions is based on a principle of natural cryoprotection, which is associated with physiological mechanisms provided by cryoprotectants.

Objective: Since arctic cold-hardy insects are producers of highly effective cryoprotectants, in this study, the hemolymph of Aporia crataegi L. and Upis ceramboides L.

The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of the Kyrghyz racerunner ( Bedriaga, 1905) from Kyrgyzstan was determined for the first time by next-generation sequencing. The mitogenome was 20,840 bp in length and comprised the standard set of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and a control region. The 13 concatenated PCGs were used to implement Bayesian phylogenetic analyses together with some congeners and three representative lacertids retrieved from GenBank.

The Yarkand racerunner, Blandford, 1875, is only distributed in China and Kyrgyzstan. Its complete mitogenome was determined by next-generation sequencing for the first time. The mitogenome was 18,743 bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and 1 control region.

Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers collected 30 specimens previously identified as another species from eastern Kazakhstan and northern China, analyzed their DNA barcodes, and found indications of cryptic species and high genetic diversity within the group.
  • * The findings confirmed all collected specimens as a distinct species, showing inconsistencies with previous descriptions, likely due to the larger sample size, and establishing its presence in Xinjiang, China.
