Comparative Mitogenomes and Phylogenetic Analyses of Coccinellidae (Coleoptera: Coccinelloidea).

ABSTRACT: Coccinellidae (ladybird beetles) comprises around 6900 described species with a worldwide distribution and exhibits a broad trophic diversity. Complete mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) are valuable resources in many research fields, such as genomics, population genetics, molecular evolution, and phylogenetics. Here we sequenced and report the complete mitogenome of Calvia chinensis, Micraspis discolor, Harmonia eucharis, and Oenopia kirbyi. By comparing with the 36 complete mitogenomes published in GenBank, we found that the long noncoding region (LNCR) between trnI and trnQ is present in the mitogenome of Chilocorini and Coccinellini, and the size of LNCR is positively correlated with their mitogenome size. The variable number tandem repeat (VN
