The complete mitochondrial genome of Aegialites californicus (Motchoulsky, 1845) (insecta: coleoptera: salpingidae)

Figures & data

Figure 1. Aegialites californicus, neotype (photo taken by Zerche 2004, pp 56) scale: 1 mm.

Figure 2. Mitochondrial genome map of A. californicus generated by Chloroplot (Zheng et al. 2020). Overlapping features are excluded for a better graphical representation of the architecture of the genome. The dark grey areas inside the map represents GC-content, genes on the outside of the map are transcribed counterclockwise, and genes on the inside are transcribed clockwise as informed by the arrows in the figure.

Figure 3. Maximum-likelihood tree for Aegialites californicus (highlighted) and 13 additional insect taxa from superfamily Tenebrionoidea derived from the following records: Vincenzellus ruficollis KX035146 (unpublished), Salpingus planirostris OX460930 (unpublished), Lissodema cursor KX087307 (unpublished), trictenotoma davidi MW580860 (Sheng et al. 2021), schizotus pectinicornis OX638211 (unpublished), usechus lacerta KX035136 (unpublished), tetratoma fungorum KX035148 (unpublished), penthe kochi ON113044 (unpublished), philolithus aegrotus MZ342784 (Smith et al. 2021), gonocephalum kochi MW822744 (unpublished), nacerdes carniolica KX087319 (unpublished), osphya sp. n. MW556727 (Liu et al. 2023) and cyrtanaspis phalerata KX087279 (unpublished). The GenBank accession numbers for the sequences are indicated next to the species names. Bootstrap values are found close to the nodes and a scale bar indicating the mean number of nucleotide substitutions per site is located at the bottom.
