Abstract
Acoptolabrus changeonleei Ishikawa et Kim, 1983 (Coleoptera: Carabidae) has been listed as an endangered insect in South Korea. The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of the species was 16,831-bp long with a typical set of genes (13 protein-coding genes [PCGs], 2 rRNA genes, and 22 tRNA genes) and one non-coding region, with the arrangement identical to that observed in most insect genomes. Twelve PCGs had the typical ATN start codon, whereas ND1 had the atypical TTG codon. The 1,712-bp long A+T-rich region was composed of 88.6% A/T nucleotides and had no long repeat sequences. Phylogenetic analyses with concatenated sequences of the 13 PCGs and the lrRNA gene placed A. changeonleei as a sister to the within-subfamilial species Damaster mirabilissimus in Carabinae, with the highest nodal support by both analyses.
