“…In addition, a detailed reexamination of elaterid and lampyroid morphology, chemical defenses, and biology will provide new insight into the evolutionary relationships between them (Kusy et al, 2021b). Tetralobinae, represented by Sinelater perroti recovered at the basal of the phylogenetic tree and sister to all remaining click‐beetle groups, which was in line with a more recently study that inferred phylogenetic of Elateridae using mitogenomes (Qiu, 2023; Song et al, 2023). Kundrata et al (2018) examined the phylogenetic position of Tetralobinae within Elateridae using four molecular markers, including 18 S , 28 S , 16 S and cox1 .…”

“…The monophyly of Cardiophorinae, Agrypninae and Elaterinae was also recovered with high support in all topologies, which was consistent with previous studies based on different data matrix (Douglas et al, 2021;He et al, 2022;Kundrata et al, 2018;Kusy et al, 2021a;Qiu, 2023). Unexpectedly, our study showed that the Negastrius sabulicola and Anostirus castaneus formed a clade with poor support (BS = 46) in ML analysis, which rendered Dendrometrinae paraphyletic (Figure 5 and Supporting Information: Figure S2).…”

“…The phylogenetic topology generated using mitogenomes here generally agrees with results of earlier phylogenomic analyses which resolved the deepest relationships (Douglas et al, 2021;Kusy et al, 2021a;Qiu, 2023;Song et al, 2023). However, there are several subfamilies of click beetles which have no mitogenomes or any molecular data.…”

“…The basal phylogeny of Elateridae remains contentious as various dataset, sampling coverage and optimality criteria produced different topologies. While some relationships have been repeatedly found, others are inconclusive, such as who is the earliest branch of Elateridae (Bi et al, 2019; Douglas et al, 2021; Kundrata et al, 2018; Qiu, 2023; Song et al, 2023). The incomplete availability of mitogenomes limits our ability to fully understand the relationships within Elateridae.…”

“…Due to the low support values of clade N. sabulicola + A. castaneus in our study, it is likely that this result may have been artificially influenced. Four previous phylogenetic studies of Elateridae inferred from mitogenome consistently revealed that the Dendrometrinae was monophyletic group (He et al, 2022;Kusy et al, 2021a;Qiu, 2023;Song et al, 2023).…”

The click‐beetles (Elateridae) are a species‐rich beetle family that is easily recognizable. They are distributed in all zoogeographical regions with over 11,000 species. Comparative studies of the structural characteristics of mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes), as well as phylogenetic relationships of click‐beetles, can improve our understanding of mitogenomic evolution. In this study, we determined four mitogenomes from Elateridae by next‐generation sequencing. The four mitogenomes were 16,005 to 16,930 bp in length with 37 typical genes and a control region (A + T‐rich region). Combined with previously reported elaterid mitogenomes, all PCGs initiate with either the standard start codon of ATN or TTG. According to the nonsynonymous/synonymous mutation ratio (Ka/Ks) of all PCGs, the highest and the lowest evolutionary rates were found for atp8 and cox1, respectively. Among the control regions of the four mitogenomes, several different patterns and numbers of tandem repeats were identified, which was the primary cause of the length variation in control regions. Phylogenetic analyses were conducted based on 13 protein‐coding genes and two ribosomal RNA genes from 33 species of Elateridae and two outgroups. The Bayesian inference and maximum likelihood trees had an identical topological structure. The monophyly of Cardiophorinae, Agrypninae and Elaterinae was recovered with high support in all topologies, and the Tetralobinae was placed as the earliest branch in the Elateridae. Expanding the availability of mitogenomic and genomic data from a broader range of click‐beetles could provide more clarity on the disputed relationships among subfamilies within Elateridae.
