The complete mitochondrial genomes of four lagriine species (Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae) and phylogenetic relationships within Tenebrionidae.

ABSTRACT: It is common to use whole mitochondrial genomes to analyze phylogenetic relationships among insects. In this study, seven mitogenomes of Tenebrionidae are newly sequenced and annotated. Among them, four species (Cerogira janthinipennis (Fairmaire, 1886), Luprops yunnanus (Fairmaire, 1887), Anaedus unidentasus Wang & Ren, 2007, and Spinolyprops cribricollis Schawaller, 2012) represent the subfamily Lagriinae. In this subfamily, the mitogenomes of the tribes Goniaderini (A. unidentasus) and Lupropini (L. yunnanus and S. cribricollis) were first reported; they were found to be 15,328-16,437 bp in length and encode 37 typical mitochondrial genes (13 PCGs, 2 rRNAs, 22 tRNAs, and a single noncoding control region). Most protein-coding genes in the
