Abstract:
Odoiporus longicollis (Marshall, 1930), a major banana pest in the family Curculionidae, primarily infests banana pseudostems. The mitogenomic analysis of O. longicollis and its phylogenetic relationships enhances the available mitogenomic data of Curculionidae and provides valuable resources for the molecular identification, population monitoring, and management of this species. In this study, the complete mitogenome of O. longicollis (16,294 bp) was sequenced for the first time. The circular genome comprises 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNAs, and two rRNAs, with GC contents of 24.81%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16 Curculionidae mitogenomes offers novel insights into the evolutionary relationships of O. longicollis.
