Abstract

The little-known genus Pseudoechthistatus Pic, 1917 belongs to the subfamily Lamiinae of the family Cerambycidae. Adult Pseudoechthistatus hei Xie and W. Wang, 2019 specimens were collected from Bāijì Hill, Xīntángfáng Village, Wéixī County, Yúnnán Province, China. The complete mitochondrial genome (GenBank accession number: ON641973.1) of P. hei was sequenced, annotated, and characterized; it is a circular DNA molecule of 16,103 bp with a 75.71% AT content, and it comprised 13 protein-coding genes (PCG), 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and 1 control region. The PCGs initiated with the typical ATN (Met) start codons, and were terminated by typical TAN stop codons. The Bayesian Inference phylogenetic tree was first constructed using JTT + F + I + G4 model for P. hei, which showed that P. hei was closely related to Monochamus alternatus alternatus.

Keywords: Lamiinae; Pseudoechthistatus hei; mitochondrial genome; phylogenetic analysis.
