Characterization of two new Pylorgus mitogenomes (Hemiptera, Lygaeidae, Ischnorhynchinae) and a mitochondrial phylogeny of Lygaeoidea.

ABSTRACT: Lygaeidae is a large family of Hemiptera (Heteroptera) currently separated into three subfamilies, Ischnorhynchinae, Lygaeinae, and Orsillinae. In this research, the complete mitogenomes of the iscnorhynchines Pylorgusporrectus Zheng, Zou & Hsiao, 1979 and Pylorgussordidus Zheng, Zou & Hsiao, 1979 were sequenced, and the phylogeny of Pylorgus and the Lygaeidae with known complete mitogenomes were examined. The mitogenomes are 15,174 bp and 15,399 bp in size, respectively, and comprised of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), two ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs), and a control region (D-loop). Nucleotide composition is biased toward A and T, and the gene order is identical to that of the putative ancestral arrangement of insects. Eleven PCGs begin w
