Complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the tiny dragonfly, Nannophya pygmaea (Odonata: Libellulidae)

The dragonfly Macromia daimoji Okumura, 1949 (Odonata: Macromiidae) has been listed as an Endangered insect in South Korea. We sequenced the complete 15,198 bp mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of this organism, which is the first mitogenome sequence reported from the family Macromiidae. The genome includes a typical set of genes [13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 rRNA genes, and 22 tRNA genes) and one non-coding region with an arrangement identical to that observed in most insect genomes. Phylogenetic analyses using concatenated sequences of the 13 PCGs and 2 rRNA genes using the Bayesian inference (BI) method placed Macromiidae, represented by M. daimoji , as a sister group to Libellulidae with the highest nodal support [Bayesian posterior probabilities (BPP) = 1]. Unlike conventional phylogenetic analysis, the suborders Anisozygoptera and Zygoptera formed a strong sister group (BPP =1), justifying the use of different molecular markers for phylogenetic analysis.

“…All the analyses consistently supported the sister relationship between the Anisozygoptera and Zygoptera suborders, with moderate to high nodal supports (BPP ¼ 1; BS ¼ 75). The sister relationship between the Zygoptera and Anisozygoptera suborders was unconventional (Rehn 2003;Davis et al 2011;Kim et al 2014); however, recent mitogenome-based phylogenetic results consistently supported the sister relationship between these two suborders (Yong et al 2016;Jeong et al 2018). Thus, more diverse taxonomic groups might be helpful to correctly infer the odonate phylogeny.…”

The dragonfly Libellula angelina Selys, 1883 (Odonata: Libellulidae) has been listed as a critically endangered species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and is also an endangered insect in South Korea. We sequenced the whole genome (15,233 bp) of L. angelina species, which included a set of typical genes and one major non-coding AT-rich region with an arrangement identical to that observed in most insect genomes. The A þ T-rich region harbored one identical repeat composed of 65 bp and two tRNA-like structures (trnF and trnK-like sequences) with proper anticodon and cloverleaf structures. Phylogenetic reconstruction using the concatenated sequences of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs) and two rRNAs of the representative odonate mitogenomes utilizing both Bayesian inference and maximum-likelihood methods revealed a strong support for the monophyletic Zygoptera and a moderate to high support for the monophyletic Anisoptera suborders. Unlike that in conventional phylogenetic analysis, a relatively strong sister relationship was revealed between the suborders of Anisozygoptera and Zygoptera.
