Abstract

Batocera rubus severely impacts on the health of banyan trees. In this study, the whole mitochondrial genome for B. rubus was found to be 16,158 bp with a GC content of 23.9%, including 39.1% A, 37.0% T, 14.8% C, and 9.1% G. This genome contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs, and two rRNAs. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that B. rubus is close to Batocera celebiana. This study provides valuable information that can help improve the classification and phylogeny of B. rubus and facilitate further evolutionary studies.

Keywords: Cerambycidae; Mitogenome; phylogenetic analysis.
