“…Four complete and twelve nearly complete mitogenomes of Tenthredinidae have been reported so far [14,[53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61]. Here, the complete mitogenomes of four species representing Cladiucha and Megabeleses were sequenced for the first time, and their mitogenome characteristics were summarized at the subfamily level by comparing them with the published and/or unpublished mitogenomes representing the family.…”

Tenthredinidae represents one of the external feeders of the most diverse superfamily, Tenthredinoidea, with diverse host plant utilization. In this study, four complete mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes), those of Cladiucha punctata, Cladiucha magnoliae, Megabeleses magnoliae, and Megabeleses liriodendrovorax, are newly sequenced and comparatively analyzed with previously reported tenthredinid mitogenomes. The close investigation of mitogenomes and the phylogeny of Tenthredinidae leads us to the following conclusions: The subfamilial relationships and phylogenetic placements within Tenthredinidae are mostly found to be similar to the previously suggested phylogenies. However, the present phylogeny supports the monophyly of Megabelesesinae as a subfamily, with the sister-group placement of Cladiucha and Megabeleses outside of Allantinae. The occurrence of the same type of tRNA rearrangements (MQI and ANS1ERF) in the mitogenomes of Megabelesesinae species and the presence of apomorphic morphological characters also provide robust evidence for this new subfamily. The divergence and diversification times of the subfamilies appear to be directly related to colonization of the flowering plants following the Early Cretaceous. The origin time and diversification patterns of Megabelesesinae were also well matched with the divergence times of their host plants from Magnoliaceae.

Neodiprion is a genus belonging to the small sawfly family Diprionidae, feeding the plant family Pinaceae entirely. Here, the complete mitogenome of the redheaded pine sawfly Neodiprion lecontei (Hymenoptera: Diprionidae) was assembled, annotated as third party annotation from the raw genome dataset of N. lecontei and comparatively characterised. The length of N. lecontei mitogenome was 16,067 bp in size, with an AT content of 81.32%. The initiation codons of protein coding genes (PCGs) are ATN (except for nad6 (TTA-Phe), while termination codons are TAA or T−. tRNA genes favoured usual anticodons except for trnS1 which preferred an unusual anticodon GCU. Compared with the Neodiprion sertifer mitogenome, the ARNS1EF gene cluster was rearranged as RAS1RNEF and trnR gene has a duplicated copy, revealing a new event not formerly reported in Symphyta. The phylogeny confirms the position of N. lecontei within the family of Diprionidae and supports the monophyly of included genera and families in Tenthredinoidea.

The systematic status of the genus Athalia and related genera is a perennial controversy in sawfly taxonomy. Several authors have hypothesized that the placement of Athalia within the Tenthredinidae is artificial, but no studies have focused on this topic. If the hypothesis that Athalia does not belong to Tenthredinidae can be supported, the taxonomic framework of Tenthredinoidea needs revision. We present a comprehensive phylogenomic study of Tenthredinoidae, focusing on the positions of Athalia and related genera by sampling 97 representatives mainly of the Tenthredinoidea, including Heptamelinae and Blasticotomidae. Our phylogenetic reconstructions based on nuclear genes and mitochondrial (mt) sequences support Athalia and related genera as a distinct clade sister to Tenthredinidae + (Cimbicidae + Diprionidae). A comparison of symphytan mitochondrial genomes reveals an innovative gene rearrangement pattern in Athaliidae, in which Dentathalia demonstrates a more ancestral pattern than Athalia and Hypsathalia. The lineage specificity of mt rRNA secondary structures also provides sufficient support to consider Athaliidae as a separate family. In summary, the phylogeny and genomic structural changes unanimously support the taxonomic treatment of Athaliidae as a family and the re-establishment of Dentathalia as a valid genus.
