The complete mitochondrial genome of Chlaenius bimaculatus Dejean, 1826 (Coleoptera: Carabidea) and its phylogenetic analyses

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Chlaenius bimaculatus Dejean, 1826 (Coleoptera: Carabidea) is a predator of several lepidopteran pests, including Spodoptera frugiperda, S. litura and Helcystogramma triannulella. However, there has been little research into using C. bimaculatus to control crop pests. In this study, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of C. bimaculatus. The results showed that the entire mitochondrial genome was 16,419 bp and contained 24% GC. 13 protein-coding, 22 transfer RNA, and two ribosomal RNA genes were identified. C. bimaculatus shares the same genetic arrangement and composition as other Coleoptera insects. In addition, phylogenetic analysis revealed that C. bimaculatus is closely related to Diplocheila zeelandica.
