The complete mitochondrial genome of Moricella rufonota Rohwer, 1916 (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae) and phylogenetic analysis

Abstract

We sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of Moricella rufonota Rohwer, (Tenthredinidae: Nematinae). The mitogenome is 15,731 bp in length with an A + T content of 81.9%, 37 typical animal mitochondrial genes, and a 386 bp control region. All the 13 protein-coding genes initiate with a typical ATN and end with TAA. The trnI(+)-trnQ(−)-trnM(+) cluster rearranged as trnM(+)-trnQ(−)-trnI(+) cluster, and the trnW(+)-trnC(−)-trnY(−) cluster rearranged as trnC(+)-trnW(+)-trnY(−) cluster. Phylogenetic analysis confirmed that the Nematinae is the basal lineage of Tenthredinidae, and Moricella rufonota is the basal lineage of Nematinae.
