Complete mitochondrial genome of a leaf-mining beetle, Argopistes tsekooni (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)

摘要

Argopistes tsekooni is a leaf-mining pest on Oleaceae plants in China. The complete mitochondrial genome of A. tsekooni was sequenced and annotated. It had a total length of 16,552?bp, including 13?PCGs, 2 ribosomal RNAs, 22 tRNAs, and a 2020?bp long non-coding AT-rich region. With a total length of 11,140?bp, all 13?PCGs started with ATN, 9?PCGs terminated with TAA, 3?PCGs terminated with TAG, except that COX3 terminated with an incomplete stop codon T. Maximum-likelihood phylogenetic analysis showed that A. tsekooni was closely grouped with seven other Galerucinae species, which did not contradict the previous morphological and molecular classification.
