Seung Hyun Lee, Woo Jin Kim, Jeong Sun Park, Jee-Young Pyo, Iksoo Kim
TL;DR
This paper reports the complete mitochondrial genome of a newly discovered clearwing moth species in South Korea and its phylogenetic relationships.
Contribution
The study provides the first complete mitochondrial genome of Synanthedon namdoelegans and identifies a unique gene arrangement specific to the tribe Synanthedonini.
Findings
The mitochondrial genome is 15,578 bp long and contains a unique gene arrangement at the A + T-rich region and ND2 junction.
Phylogenetic analysis supports the monophyly of Synanthedonini and reveals S. namdoelegans is closely related to Synanthedon bicingulata.
The data can aid in taxonomy, molecular ecology, and pest management research.
Abstract
The clearwing moth Synanthedon namdoelegans Kim, Kim and Choi, 2025 (Lepidoptera: Sesiidae) was newly discovered in South Korea in 2024. We sequenced 15,578 bp-long complete mitochondrial genome of the species. It contained the trnQ–trnS2–trnM–trnI arrangement at the A + T-rich region and ND2 junction (the underline indicates counterclockwise direction) unique to tribe Synanthedonini. Phylogenetic analyses of 18 Cossoidea species supported the monophyly of each Synanthedonini and Synanthedon, and revealed a sister relationship between S. namdoelegans and Synanthedon bicingulata (Staudinger 1887). These data will be useful in taxonomic, molecular ecological, and pest management research.
