The complete mitochondrial Genome of Morimospasma tuberculatum Breuning 1939 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae) and phylogeny relationships in the subfamilies of Cerambycidae

Abstract

In this study, we sequenced and analysed the mitochondrial genome of Morimospasma tuberculatum Breuning, 1939 and Morimospasma sp. The results indicated that the mitochondrial genome lengths were 15993 bp and 16109 bp, with an A+T content of 74.5% and 80.3%. We downloaded the mitochondrial genomes of 26 species among 7 subfamilies of Cerambycidae and Plagiodera versicolora, Chrysomela vigintipunctaca (Chrysomelidae, as the outgroup) from NCBI, then constructed the Bayesian inference (BI) and Maximum likelihood (ML) phylogenetic trees to study the taxonomic status of M. tuberculatum and Morimospasma sp., and the phylogenetic relationships among 7 subfamilies of the Cerambycidae.
