Abstract

We performed high-throughput sequencing on the complete mitogenomes of two Araneidae species, a wasp spider (Argiope bruennichi) and a large nocturnal spider (Araneus ventricosus). The two mitogenomes contain 14,060 bp and 14,607 bp, and GC content of 26.6% and 26.5%, respectively. The two mitogenomes contain 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNAs, 2 ribosomal RNAs, and 1 control region. We performed a phylogenetic analysis with the concatenated 13 PCGs, which showed that Argiope and Araneus are clearly classified and clustered within Araneidae clade. Our study serves to enrich evolutionary and ecological studies.
