Deskripsi

The complete mitochrondiral genome of Aulacochilus grouvellei Achard, 1923 was sequenced using an Illumina HiSeq platform. It represents the first mitochondrial genome of the subfamily Erotylinae. The mitogenome is a double-stranded circular molecule 15,607 bp in length with 22 transfer RNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and a control region. A Bayesian inference phylogenetic analysis including the new mitochondrial genome and a broad selection of other Cucujoidea recovered four major clades, including a ‘Cryptophagidae-Laemophloeidae-Cucujidae’ clade, a ‘Monotomidae-Nitidulidae’ clade, an Erotylidae clade, and a ‘Coccinellidae-Silvanidae’ clade. The family Erotylidae was recovered closely related to the ‘Cryptophagidae-Laemophloeidae-Cucujidae’ – ‘Monotomidae -Nitidulidae’ clade.
