Characterization of the nearly complete mitochondrial genome of ochraceous darkies, Euphaea ochracea Selys, 1859 (Odonata: Zygoptera: Euphaeidae) and phylogenetic analysis

Figures & data

Figure 1. A reference image of Euphaea ochracea sequenced in this work, collected from Ayer Hitam Forest Reserve Johor, Malaysia.

Figure 2. Draft mitogenome map of E. ochracea generated in this study. Genes encoded on the heavy strand are transcribed in a clockwise manner, while those encoded on the light strand are transcribed in an anti-clockwise manner. Protein-coding genes are indicated in greyish-blue, transfer RNAs in purple and ribosomal RNAs in green. The innermost circle represents the mitogenome coordinates (Kbp).

Figure 3. Phylogenetic analysis based on Maximum-Likelihood of 11 Odonata mitogenome sequences, including the newly sequenced E. ochracea, using 13 concatenated protein-coding genes (PCGs). All congeneric mitogenome sequences from Euphaeidae was used in the analyses. Nodal support values indicate the Maximum-Likelihood bootstrap support value (BP). The newly sequenced E. ochracea is highlighted in bold.
