Complete mitochondrial genome sequence and phylogenetic implications of Chorosoma macilentum (Heteroptera: Rhopalidae)

Abstract

The complete mitogenome of Chorosoma macilentum Stål, 1858 was obtained using a next-generation sequencing approach, which is the first report in genus Chorosoma. The genome is 16,330 bp long with high A + T content. The phylogenetic analyses based on 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs) provide strong support for monophyly of each family within Pentatomomorpha. Chorosoma Macilentum was clustered together with other species within Rhopalidae, and grouped sibling species with Aeschyntelus notatus.
