Abstract

Priotyrannus closteroides Thomson, 1877 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) is the trunk borer of orange trees. In this study, we sequenced and annotated the whole mitochondrial genome of P. closteroides. The results showed that the length of the complete mitochondrial genome is 15,854 bp with an overall GC content of 32.11%. The genome encodes 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), and two ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs). The relevant phylogenetic tree distinctly showed that P. closteroides is clustered with Dorysthenes paradoxus and Dorysthenes granulosus. This study provides a piece of valuable genomic information for the population genetics, evolution, and classification of P. closteroides.

Keywords: Nucleotide sequences; phylogenetic analysis; trunk borer.
