The complete mitochondrial genome of the cigarette beetle, Lasioderma serricorne (Coleoptera: Anobiidae).

ABSTRACT: The cigarette beetle, Lasioderma serricorne (Fabricius), is an important pest of stored commodities and distributed widely in the world. Here, we report the complete mitochondrial genome of L. serricorne which was 15,958 bp and composed of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes and a control region. The gene order and orientation of L. serricorne were identical to those of other Coleopteran mitogenomes. ATG, ATA, ATT, ATC, TTG were initiation codons and TAA, TAG, T were termination codons. All 22 tRNA genes were predicted with a typical cloverleaf structure except for trnS₁ (AGN). Phylogenetic analysis performed using 13 PCGs with 14 other beetles showed that L. serricorne is closely related to Stegobium paniceum,
