The complete mitochondrial genome of Eleutheronema rhadinum was determined for the first time. The E. rhadinum mitogenome was 16,718 bp in length, comprising 13 protein coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), 1 control region (CR), and 1 L-strand replication origin (OL). The genome organization, and base composition were similar to other teleosts. An additional non-coding region detected in the HSL cluster, was with significant similarity to the nearby tRNA-Leu (CUN), which could be a useful marker for identifying E. rhadinum and Eleutheronema tetradactylum. Furthermore, phylogenetic analysis showed species in the family Polynemidae were well clustered together. But sister relationships between Polynemidae and Sciaenidae, Menidae plus Lactariidae were refused by present study.

Abstract The complete mitochondrial genome of Cultellus attenuates, a new aquaculture species, was sequenced and compared with mitogenomes from seven species of Heterodonta bivalve mollusk in the gene bank. The mitochondrial genome of C. attenuatus is 16888bp in length and contains 36 genes, including 12 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs and 22 transfer RNAs, and all genes are encoded on the same strand. In comparison with C. attenuates, the mitochondrial genes of the Sinonovacula constricta from the same family were not rearranged, but those of six other species from different family were rearranged to different degrees. The largest non-coding region of C. attenuatus is 1173bp in length and with the A + T content of 68.24%, located between nad2 and trnK. The results of phylogenetic analysis show that the C. attenuates and the S. constricta belonging to Cultellidae cluster into one branch while two species of Solenidae ( Solen grandis and Solen strictus) are clustering as their sister taxon. These data not only contribute to the understanding of the phylogenetic relationship of the Heterodonta, but also serve as a resource for the development of the genetic markers in aquaculture.

In the present study, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Agrius convolvuli (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) and compared it with previously sequenced mitogenomes of lepidopteran species. The mitogenome was a circular molecule, 15 349 base pairs (bp) long, containing 37 genes. The order and orientation of genes in the A. convolvuli mitogenome were similar to those in sequenced mitogenomes of other lepidopterans. All 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs) were initiated by ATN codons, except for the cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) gene, which seemed to be initiated by the codon CGA, as observed in other lepidopterans. Three of the 13 PCGs had the incomplete termination codon T, while the remainder terminated with TAA. Additionally, the codon distributions of the 13 PCGs revealed that Asn, Ile, Leu2, Lys, Phe, and Tyr were the most frequently used codon families. All transfer RNAs were folded into the expected cloverleaf structure except for tRNASer(AGN), which lacked a stable dihydrouridine arm. The length of the adenine (A) + thymine (T)-rich region was 331 bp. This region included the motif ATAGA followed by a 19-bp poly-T stretch and a microsatellite-like (TA)8 element next to the motif ATTTA. Phylogenetic analyses (maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods) showed that A. convolvuli belongs to the family Sphingidae.

To date, only one mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) in the Eumeninae has been reported in the world and this is the first report in China. The mitogenome ofO.a.aterrimusis 17 972 bp long, and contains 38 genes, including 13 protein coding genes (PCGs), 23 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, a long non-coding region (NCR), and a control region (CR). The mitogenome has 79.43% A + T content, its 13 PCGs use ATN as the initiation codon except forcox1using TTG, and nine genes used complete translation termination TAA and four genes have incomplete stop codon T (cox2,cox3,nad4, andcytb). Twenty-two of 23 tRNAs can form the typical cloverleaf secondary structure except fortrnS1. The CR is 1 078 bp long with 84.69% A+T content, comprising 28 bp tandem repeat sequences and 13 bp T-strech. There are two gene rearrangements which are an extratrnM2located betweentrnQandnad2and thetrnL2in the upstream ofnad1. Within all rearrangements of these mitogenomes reported in the family Vespidae, the translocation betweentrnS1andtrnEgenes only appears in Vespinae, and the translocation oftrnYin Polistinae and Vespinae. The absent codons of 13 PCGs in Polistinae are more than those both in Vespinae and Eumeninae in the family Vespidae. The study reports the complete mitogenome ofO.a.aterrimus, compares the characteristics and construct phylogenetic relationships of the mitogenomes in the family Vespidae.

Pseudocaranx dentex (white trevally) which belongs to the Carangidae family, is an important commercial fishery and aquaculture resource in Asia. However, its evolution and population genetics have received little attention which was limited by the mitogenome information absence. Here, we sequenced and annotated the complete mitochondrial genome of P. dentex which was 16,569 bp in length, containing twenty-two tRNAs (transfer RNAs), thirteen PCGs (protein-coding genes), two rRNAs (ribosomal RNAs), and one non-coding region with conservative gene arrangement. The Ka/Ks ratio analysis among Carangidae fishes indicated the PCGs were suffering purify selection and the values were related to the taxonomic status and further influenced by their living habits. Phylogenetic analysis based on the PCGs sequences of mitogenomes among 36 species presented three major clades in Carangidae. According to the phylogenetic tree, we further analyzed the taxonomic confusion of Carangoides equula which was on the same branch with P. dentex but a different branch with Carangoides spp. We inferred Kaiwarinus equula should be the accepted name and belong to the independent Kaiwarinus genus which was the sister genus of Pseudocaranx. This work provides mitochondrial genetic information and verifies the taxonomic status of P. dentex, and further helps to recognize the phylogenetic relationship and evolutionary history of Carangidae.

ABSTRACTIn the present study, the complete mitochondrial genome of the New Zealand parasitic blowfly Calliphora vicina (blue bottle blowfly) field strain NZ_CalVic_NP was generated using next-generation sequencing technology and annotated. The 16,518 bp mitochondrial genome consists of 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs, and a 1,689 bp non-coding region, similar to most metazoan mitochondrial genomes. Phylogenetic analysis showed that C. vicina NZ_CalVic_NP does not form a monophyletic cluster with the remaining three Calliphorinae species. The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of C. vicina NZ_CalVic_NP is a resource to facilitate future species identification research within the Calliphoridae.

The millipede Anaulaciulus koreanus (Verhoeff, 1937), belonging to the family Julidae, is an endemic species of the Korean fauna. In this study, we sequence and annotate the mitochondrial genome of A. koreanus. The complete mitochondrial genome of this species is 14,916 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes (16S and 12S rRNA), and a large non-coding region. The genome has a very high A+T content (71.1%), less than of the species Brachycybe lecontii Wood, 1864 (order Platydesmida; 76.6%) and Sphaerotheriidae sp. (order Sphaerotheriida; 71.2%). In comparison with the mitochondrial gene arrangement of eight other millipede species, the whole mitochondrial gene arrangement of A. koreanus is most similar to the nemasomatid species, Antrokoreana gracilipes Verhoeff, 1938, but differs from those of the other diplopod orders. The absence of tRNACys between the ND2 and COI regions is unique to the order Polydesmida, whereas the translocation of tRNATyr to between ND2 and COI is exclusive to the Sphaerotheriida. It is also shown that the translocation of tRNAThr between ND4L and ND1 may be a synapomorphy to support a close relationship of two orders Spirobolida and Spirostreptida.

Of the roughly 400 species of Perlidae in the world, most species are widely distributed in the northern hemisphere, but a few can be found in South Africa and South America. There are only five species in the genus Flavoperla of the family Perlidae in China. To gain a better understanding of the architecture and evolution of mitochondrial genome in Flavoperla, the entire mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of a Chinese Flavoperla biocellata Chu, 1929 from family Perlidae (Insecta: Plecoptera) was sequenced. The 15,805-bp long mitochondrial genome of F. biocellata contained 37 genes, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), two ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs) and a putative control region (CR). The gene arrangement of F. biocellata was identical with that of other stoneflies and with the fly Drosophila yakuba. Most PCGs of F. biocellata used the standard ATN start codons and complete TAN termination codons. Twenty-one of the 22 tRNA genes exhibited cloverleaf secondary structures, but the dihydrouridine (DHU) arm of trnSer (AGN) was completely reduced. Phylogenetic analyses with both Bayesian inference (BI) and maximum likelihood methods (ML) generated similar topology, both supporting the monophyly of all stonefly families and the infraorder Systellognatha. The phylogenetic analysis based on mitochondrial genomic data from 30 stonefly species recovered a well-supported tree resolving higher-level relationships within Plecoptera. The northern hemisphere suborder Arctoperlaria divided into two groups, Euholognatha and Systellognatha. The southern hemisphere suborder Antarctoperlaria formed two clades: Eustheniidae+Diamphipnoidae and Austroperlidae+ Gripopterygidae; consistent with relationships proposed based on morphology. The final relationships within Plecoptera were recovered as (((Perlidae+(Perlodidae+Chloroperlidae))+(Pteronarcyidae+(Peltoperlidae+Styloperlidae))) +(Taeniopterygidae+(Capniidae+(Nemouridae+Notonemouridae))))+ (Gripopterygoidae+Eusthenioidae).

Azygia hwangtsiyui (Trematoda, Azygiidae), a neglected parasite of predatory fishes, is little-known in terms of its molecular epidemiology, population ecology and phylogenetic study. In the present study, the complete mitochondrial genome of A. hwangtsiyui was sequenced and characterized: it is a 13,973 bp circular DNA molecule and encodes 36 genes (12 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes) as well as two non-coding regions. The A+T content of the A. hwangtsiyui mitogenome is 59.6% and displays a remarkable bias in nucleotide composition with a negative AT skew (–0.437) and a positive GC skew (0.408). Phylogenetic analysis based on concatenated amino acid sequences of twelve protein-coding genes reveals that A. hwangtsiyui is placed in a separate clade, suggesting that it has no close relationship with any other trematode family. This is the first characterization of the A. hwangtsiyui mitogenome, and the first reported mitogenome of the family Azygiidae. These novel datasets of the A. hwangtsiyui mt genome represent a meaningful resource for the development of mitochondrial markers for the identification, diagnostics, taxonomy, homology and phylogenetic relationships of trematodes.
