The complete mitochondrial genome of Cyamophila willieti (Wu) (Hemiptera: Psyllidae)
Abstract
Cyamophila willieti (Hemiptera: Psyllidae) is an important insect pest of Sophora japonica. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of C. willieti (GenBank accession number MN364946) was sequenced using Illumina HiSeq X Ten. The mitogenome is 15,809 bp long, and comprises 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), and putative control region (CR). The nucleotide composition of C. willieti mitochondrial genome is 37.96% of A, 35.88% of T, 15.98% of C and 10.18% of G. Two rRNAs are located between tRNA-Leu and CR, separated by tRNA-Val. The CR, located between 12 s rRNA and tRNA-Ile, is 844 bp long. The length of 22 tRNAs range from 60 to 70 bp. Phylogenetic analysis showed that C. willieti belongs to Psyllinae, genetically close to other four species belonging to the same subfamily. Cyamophila willieti mitogenome provides an important data resource for further studies and contributes to our understanding of the phylogeny of this group.
