The complete mitochondrial genome sequence and phylogenetic analysis of Lycocerus asperipennis (Coleoptera, Cantharidae)

The complete mitochondrial genome of a common Chinese soldier beetle was sequenced, Lycocerus asperipennis (Coleoptera, Cantharidae, Cantharinae). The mitogenome is a double-stranded circular molecule, and the obtained sequence with 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA subunits, and...

Descripción
Sumario:The complete mitochondrial genome of a common Chinese soldier beetle was sequenced, Lycocerus asperipennis (Coleoptera, Cantharidae, Cantharinae). The mitogenome is a double-stranded circular molecule, and the obtained sequence with 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA subunits, and an AT-rich region, as in other insects. Total length of this mitogenome is 16162 bp and the composition of each base is A (41.5%), T (37.7%), C (12.4%), G (8.4%), respectively. The phylogenetic tree analysis using 16 species of Elateriformia shows that L. asperipennis is closest to Chauliognathus opacus, which belongs to the subfamily Chauliognathinae of Cantharidae.
