Abstract:
The complete mitochondrial genome of Stegobium paniceum (Coleoptera: Anobiidae) is a circular DNA molecule of 15,271 bp (GenBank accession number XK819317), and its nucleotide composition is biased towards A + T nucleotides (78.32%). This genome comprises 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and an A + T-rich region. The gene order of S. paniceum was similar to those found in other known Coleoptera species. Sixteen reading frame overlaps and six intergenic regions were found in the mitochondrial genome of S. paniceum. All 22 tRNA genes have the typical cloverleaf secondary structure, with an exception for trnS (AGN). The phylogenetic relationships based on neighbour-joining method revealed that S. paniceum is closely related to Apatides fortis, which is consistent with the traditional morphological classification.
