The first complete mitochondrial genome of Mylabris sibirica (Coleoptera: Meloidae) and its phylogenetic analysis

Mitochondrial DNA B Resour. 2024 Nov 1;9(11):1479-1482. doi: 10.1080/23802359.2024.2422979. eCollection 2024.

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of Mylabris sibirica Fischer von Waldheim, 1823 was sequenced and characterized. The mitogenome is 15,794 bp long with 37 annotated genes, comprising 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and two ribosomal RNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis based on the mitochondrial genome sequences revealed that M. sibirica clustered with M. quadripunctata. This study presents the complete mitochondrial genome of M. sibirica for the first time, which could be beneficial for systematic studies on Mylabrini.

Keywords: Mylabris sibirica; complete mitochondrial genome; phylogenetic relationship.
