The complete mitochondrial genome of <i>Phyllobrotica signata</i> (Mannerheim, 1825) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Galerucinae): characterization and phylogenetic implications

The leaf beetles have important economic and ecological significance. <i>Phyllobrotica</i> <i>signata</i> belongs to the subfamily Galerucinae. In this study, the complete mitogenome of <i>P. signata</i> has been obtained by the next-generation sequencing. The length of the new complete mitogenome is 16,207 bp containing 37 genes and a control region. Fourteen species from Galerucinae and Alticinae were selected as ingroups for phylogenetic analysis based on mitogenomic data. The results supported that <i>P. signata and P. quadrimaculata</i> were sister groups. The mitochondrial genome of P. signata will provide valuable genetic information for exploring the phylogenetic relationships in the family Chrysomelidae.
