The complete mitogenome of Chlorophanus auripes Faust, 1897 (Coleoptera, Curculionidae)

Chlorophanus auripes Faust, 1897 is a large size weevil dwell in biotopes on Salix spp. or Populus spp., which can be found common in Northern China. The complete mitogenome of C. auripes was reported in the present study. The mitogenome contains 18,149 base pairs. The composition of mitogenome is 39.4% for A, 10.1% for G, 36.0% for T and 14.5% for C. A set of 37 genes, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and one control region, were annotated. There is a 1037 bps gap between Ile tRNA gene and Gln tRNA gene. The phylogenetic result supports the monophyly of Curculionidae, revealed that C. auripes was a sister group to the Pachyrhinus yasumatsui, which also belongs to the subfamily Entiminae.
