Abstract
Spiniphilus spinicornis belongs to subfamily Philinae of family Vesperidae from cerambycoid assemblage. The first complete mitogenome of Spiniphilus spinicornis was reported. The genome is 15 707 bp in length and contains the typical 37 genes that are arranged in the same order as that of the putative ancestor of beetles. The total base composition of the mitogenome is 30.9% for A, 11.1% for C, 19.3% for G, and 38.6% for T. The genome organization, nucleotide composition, and codon usage do not differ significantly from other martens. The percentage of A + T is 69.5%. The first complete mitogenome of subfamily Philinae could be used in studies of molecular systematics, phylogenetic, and conservation genetics. Phylogenetic analysis showed that Cerambycoidea was monophyly with high support value. Lamiinae, Cerambycinae, and Philinae were monophyly too, respectively.
