The first complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Cacopsylla citrisuga (Yang & Li), a new insect vector of Huanglongbing in Yunnan Province, China.

ABSTRACT

Cacopsylla citrisuga (Yang & Li) is an important pest-threatening Citrus and Poncirus plants (Rutaceae) and a newly identified insect vector of citrus Huanglongbing. The complete mitochondrial genome of C. citrisuga was 14,906 bp in length, with 37 genes, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), two ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs). The phylogenetic trees inferred from Bayesian inference and maximum likelihood analyses confirmed C. citrisuga as a member of the genus Cacopsylla. Our phylogenetic analyses suggested that the Cacopsylla is paraphyletic, and confirmed C. citrisuga as a member of clade-I under Cacopsylla. The complete mitochondrial genome of C. citrisuga will provide important information for the phylogeny and evolution analysis of Cacopsylla.
