Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of Eurydema maracandica was sequenced and was 15,391 bp long with 76.82% A + T. There were 37 typical genes including 13 protein-coding genes/PCGs, 22 transfer RNA/tRNAs, and 2 ribosomal RNA/rRNAs. The 690 bp D-loop region was located between 12S rRNA and trnI-Ile. All PCGs started with ATN codons, except COI, ATP8, and ND1, and ended with TAA, except COI, COII, and ND5. Phylogenetic analyses indicated highly supported monophyly for each family, and Pentatomidae species formed a solid monophyletic group. Eurydema maracandica and Eurydema gebleri were clustered sibling clades, and the genus Halyomorpha was close to Eurydema.

Highlights

  • The complete mitochondrial genome of Eurydema maracandica was sequenced and was 15,391 bp long with 76.82% A þ T

  • Eurydema maracandica Oshanin, 1871 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) is an agricultural pest of various brassicaceous vegetables (Yu et al 2013; Zhao et al 2017) that is prone to outbreaks, and an efficient control strategy for this insect is required

  • Mitochondrial genome analysis has proven to be a powerful tool for species diagnosis and is essential for comprehensive evolutionary studies (Cameron 2014)
