The complete mitochondrial genome of Phyllobrotica signata (Mannerheim, 1825) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Galerucinae): characterization and phylogenetic implications.

Abstract

The leaf beetles have important economic and ecological significance. Phyllobrotica signata belongs to the subfamily Galerucinae. In this study, the complete mitogenome of P. signata has been obtained by the next-generation sequencing. The length of the new complete mitogenome is 16,207 bp containing 37 genes and a control region. Fourteen species from Galerucinae and Alticinae were selected as ingroups for phylogenetic analysis based on mitogenomic data. The results supported that P. signata and P. quadrimaculata were sister groups. The mitochondrial genome of P. signata will provide valuable genetic information for exploring the phylogenetic relationships in the family Chrysomelidae.
