Abstract
In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Monolepta hieroglyphica (Motschulsky) was sequenced. The M. hieroglyphica mitogenome is a circular, double-stranded molecule, with 15,963 bp in length. The typical 37 mitochondrial genes (13 PCGs, 22 tRNAs, and 2 rRNAs) and an A + T-rich region are included. Gene content and arrangement are identical to that of the ancestral insect Drosophila yakuba. Phylogenetic analyses based on the combined 13 protein-coding genes consistently recovered three clades depicting the subfamily-level relationships within Chrysomelidae as reported in a previous study. Monolepta hieroglyphica is nested into the monophyletic Galerucinae, which is demonstrated first based on mitochondrial genome data.
