Mitogenome
features
Newly sequenced mitochondrial genomes of 28 species representing 21
genera in the subfamily Typhlocybinae ranged from 14,396 bp to 16,931 bp
in length, including 37 typical insect mitochondrial genes and a control
region (Table S2). Mitochondrial gene arrangement is highly conservative
and consistent with the hypothetical ancestral insect (Figure 1, a),
except in the newly sequenced Shaddai sp. (GenBank, MW284820),
which has the gene trnW translocated behind trnY, with 691 bp and 460 bp
intergenic spacers between trnI and trnQ, trnY and trnW, respectively
(dashed line box in Figure 1, b). This is the first report of a
mitochondrial gene rearrangement within this subfamily.
