Comparative analysis of the complete mitochondrial genomes of three representatives in Ricaniidae(Hemiptera:Fulgoroidea),with phylogenetic implications
In this paper,the mitogenomes of three species in Ricaniidae,Ricanoides flabellum Noulhier,Ricanula fujianensis Ren,Stroinski & Qin and Euricania clara Kato,were sequenced and assembled.Their total lengths were 15,906,15,809 and 16,127 bp,respectively.The whole mitogenomes showed a positive AT skew and negative GC skew.The A+T content of the rRNAs was slightly higher than that of the tRNAs.All protein-coding genes(PCGs)begin with the start codon ATN and end with TAA,TAG or an incomplete stop codon single T.The sliding window,Ka/Ks,and genetic distance analyses indicated that the coxl gene was the slowest evolving.The cox1 gene was determined to be the most conserved and exhibited a slow evolution rate compared to other PCGs.It can be used as one of the genetic markers for phylogenetic analysis of the higher taxa of Ricaniidae.The phylogenetic relationships of 5 genera and 11 species in this family were also analyzed based on available mitochondrial genome data.
