Two new species of the pseudoscorpion subfamily Lamprochernetinae Beier, 1932 are described from Guizhou Province, China, Nudochernes pseudotroglobius sp. nov. and Megachernes biyunensis sp. nov., with detailed diagnoses, descriptions and illustrations.
Plator insolens
Simon, 1880 belongs to the family Trochanteriidae and is distributed in China. Herein, we report the complete mitochondrial genome of
P. insolens
reconstructed from Illumina sequencing data, which is the first published mitochondrial genome for the family. The mitogenome is 14,519 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and two ribosomal RNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis indicates that
P. insolens
is clustered within the RTA clade of the infraorder Araneomorphae. This study provides useful genetic information for future studies on the taxonomy, phylogeny and evolution of trochanteriid species.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
