Shuang Cao, Xiaojing Zhou, Zhigang Yin, Na Ma, Peiyu Chen
TL;DR
This study reports the full mitochondrial genome of Anomala antiqua and uses it to explore its evolutionary relationships within the Rutelinae subfamily.
Contribution
The first complete mitochondrial genome of Anomala antiqua is sequenced and analyzed for phylogenetic implications.
Findings
The mitogenome is 16,430 bp long with 77.3% AT content and 37 genes.
A. antiqua forms a basal branch in Rutelinae, and the genus Anomala is paraphyletic.
The genome provides a resource for molecular identification and classification of Anomala species.
Abstract
The complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of Anomala antiqua (Gyllenhal, 1817) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) was first described by next-generation sequencing in this study. The length of mitogenome is 16,430 bp with AT content of 77.3%, which contained 37 genes, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs) and two ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs). Gene order is conserved and identical to most other previously sequenced Rutelinae. Phylogenetic analysis based on the amino acid sequences of 13 PCGs reveals that A. antiqua forms a basal branch of the subfamily Rutelinae and the genus Anomala is paraphyletic. The complete mtDNA of A. antiqua will be an important genomic resource for molecular identification and systematic classification of the genus Anomala, offering valuable insights into the evolutionary history and taxonomic status of its species.
