The First Mitochondrial Genome of Family Xylococcidae (Hemiptera, Coccomorpha) and Its Phylogenetic Implications
This study provides the first complete mitogenome for Xylococcidae, revealing characteristic gene rearrangements. Phylogenetic reconstruction resolves the phylogenetic position of Xylococcidae as a distinct lineage sister to all scale insects except Matsucoccidae, providing critical evolutionary insights.
