Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of the jewel beetle, Coraebus cavifrons, was sequenced and described in the present study. The mitogenome of Coraebus cavifrons is a typical circular DNA molecule of 15,686 bp. All of the 37 mitochondrial genes (13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 22 tRNA genes) were annotated and a putative control region with 1135 bp in length was found between tRNAIle and srRNA. Protein-coding genes all initiate with ATN codons except for COII uses GTG. Most of the protein-coding genes use TAA or TAG as the stop codon, but COII, COIII, and ND5 terminate with a single T. All tRNAs have the clover-leaf structure except for tRNASer(AGN) and the length of them range from 60 to 71 bp. Genome organization and nucleotide composition of the mitogenome were also noted. Our phylogenetic analysis of Elateriformia supported the monophyly of Buprestoidea and the sister relationship between Buprestoidea and (Byrrhoidea + Elateroidea).
