Abstract

In this study, the first complete mitochondrial genome of Chrysolina aeruginosa Fald was assembled and analyzed. The total length of this mitochondrial genome is 16,335 base pairs. It consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, two ribosomal RNAs, and an AT-rich region. Phylogenomic analysis indicated that C. aeruginosa Fald is sister to Chrysodinopsis sp. This study provides new molecular data for the further taxonomic and phylogenetic studies of the Chrysomelidae of Coleoptera.

Keywords: Chrysolina aeruginosa; Chrysomelidae; Mitogenome; phylogeny.
