“…3CZ (Supplementary Table S3). The highest and lowest frequent codon families are Phe and Cys, respectively (Supplementary Figure S1), which is congruent with those of previously published chironomid species [32][33][34][35]. The Ka/Ks value (ω) is used to test for signatures of natural selection.…”

“…Published mitogenome data of Chironomid are relatively rare compared with other insects of Diptera. Previous studies have focused on the genome organization and the application of nucleotide sequence information in phylogenetic analysis [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37]. However, mitochondrial gene rearrangement has never been reported in the Dipteran family Chironomidae.…”

(1) Background: Gene rearrangement of mitochondrial genome, especially those with phylogenetic signals, has long fascinated evolutionary biologists. The synapomorphic gene rearrangements have been identified across multiple orders and at many different taxonomic levels, supporting the monophyletic or systematic relationships of related lineages. However, mitochondrial gene rearrangement has never been observed in the non-biting midges (Diptera: Chironomidae); (2) methods: in this study, the complete mitogenomes of seven Stenochironomus species were sequenced and analyzed for the first time; (3) results: each mitogenome of Stenochironomus contains 37 typical genes and a control region. The whole mitogenomes of Stenochironomus species exhibit a higher A+T bias than other published chironomid species. The gene order rearranges from trnI-trnQ-trnM to trnI-trnM-trnQ in all the seven mitogenomes of Stenochironomus, which might be act as a synapomorphy of the genus, supporting the monophyletic of Stenochironomus species. In addition, another derived gene cluster: trnA-trnG-ND3-trnR exists in Stenochironomus tobaduodecimus. The derived gene orders described above are the first case of mitochondrial gene rearrangement in Chironomidae. Coupled with published data, phylogenetic relationships were reconstructed within Chironominae, and strongly supported the monophyly of Stenochironomus; (4) conclusions: our study provides new insights into the mitochondrial gene order of Chironomidae, and provides a valuable resource for understanding the synapomorphic gene rearrangements.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Polypedilum henicurum was sequenced and analyzed. The whole mitogenome is 15,964 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), and two ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs). The overall nucleotide composition is 39.5% A, 39.0% T, 13.1% C, and 8.4% G. Most PCGs start with ATN codon excluding COX1 (TTG) and all PCGs end with TAA codon. Gene arrangement stays the same with the ancestral mitochondrial genome. Bayesian inference phylogenetic tree supports its close relationship with P. unifascium . This work enriches the library of Chironomidae mitochondrial genomes and provides a valuable resource for understanding the evolutionary history of Polypedilum .

“…However, a recent study has reported the mitochondrial gene rearrangement in Chironomidae for the first time (Zheng et al, 2022). There is still a lack of further research on the mitogenomes of Chironomidae (Beckenbach, 2012; Deviatiiarov et al, 2017; Fang et al, 2022; Kim et al, 2016; Kong et al, 2021; Lei et al, 2021; Zheng et al, 2021).…”

The mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) has been widely used as a powerful marker in phylogenetic and evolutionary studies of various Dipteran groups. However, only a few mitogenomes from the Thienemanniella genus have been reported till now. Furthermore, there is still indeterminacy in the phylogenetic relationships of the genus Thienemanniella. In this study, mitogenomes of five Thienemanniella species were sequenced and analyzed newly. Combined with the published mitogenome of Thienemanniella nipponica, the obtained results showed that mitogenomes of Thienemanniella were conserved in structure, and all genes were observed to be arranged in the same gene order as the ancestral mitogenome. Nucleotide composition varied significantly among different genes, and the control region displayed the highest A + T content. All protein coding genes are subjected to purification selection, and the fastest evolving gene is ATP8. Maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference analyses showed the phylogeny of Thienemanniella which was supported in five topologies. Our present study provides valuable insight into the phylogenetic relationships of Thienemanniella species.
