Abstract
The complete mitogenome of the cotton leafhopper, Amrasca biguttula biguttula Ishida, 1913, was sequenced and annotated. The mitogenome is 14,474 bp long and contains 37 genes, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, and 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, as well as a control region. The nucleotide composition of the mitogenome is as follows: A, 39.17%; T, 39.3%; C, 11.13%; and G, 10.39%. The total length of the 13 PCGs is 10,496 bp, which encodes 3503 amino acids. All PCGs start with the ATG codon, except for ATA, ATC, GTG, and ATT. Most of the PCGs stop with TGA, and the remaining with CCT, GAA, GGT, TCA, CCA, CTA, TTA, AAA, ATT, or ATA. The phylogenetic tree shows that A. biguttula biguttula belongs to Empoascini of the subfamily Typhlocybinae, but is different from other species within the subfamily.

Abstract
Erythroneurine leafhoppers (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Typhlocybinae, Erythroneurini) are utilized to resolve the relationship between the four erythroneurine leafhopper (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Typhlocybinae, Erythroneurini): Arboridia (Arboridia) rongchangensis sp. nov., Thaia (Thaia) jiulongensis sp. nov., Mitjaevia bifurcata Luo, Song & Song, 2021 and Mitjaevia diana Luo, Song & Song, 2021, the two new species are described and illustrated. The mitochondrial gene sequences of these four species were determined to update the mitochondrial genome database of Erythroneurini. The mitochondrial genomes of four species shared high parallelism in nucleotide composition, base composition and gene order, comprising 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), two ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) and an AT control region, which was consistent with majority of species in Cicadellidae; all genes revealed common trait of a positive AT skew and negative GC skew. The mitogenomes of four species were ultra-conservative in structure, and which isanalogous to that of others in size and A + T content. Phylogenetic trees based on the mitogenome data of these species and another 24 species were built employing the maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference methods. The results indicated that the four species belong to the tribe Erythroneurini, M. diana is the sister-group relationship of M. protuberanta + M. bifurcata. The two species Arboridia (Arboridia) rongchangensis sp. nov. and Thaia (Thaia) jiulongensis sp. nov. also have a relatively close genetic relationship with the genus Mitjaevia.

Abstract
Tribes of the leafhopper subfamily Typhlocybinae have traditionally been defined based on differences in forewing and hindwing venation. Except for Typhlocybini (sensu lato), the classification of tribes is relatively stable. The monophyly of Typhlocybini needs to be examined, and the relationships among genera within Typhlocybini have not been resolved. Few mitogenome sequences representative of major lineages of Typhlocybini have been available to facilitate a comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of the tribe. In this study, the complete mitogenomes of 19 species of Typhlocybini were sequenced. The gene arrangements of the 19 new mitogenomes are consistent with ancestral insect mitogenomes. Phylogenetic analyses by both maximum-likelihood and Bayesian methods of 67 species of Typhlocybinae suggest that Zyginellini is paraphyletic with respect to Typhlocybini. The phylogenetic relationships within Typhlocybini are discussed, and the major results show that the Farynala and Linnavuoriana complexes previously recognized based on morphological characters correspond to monophyletic lineages.

Abstract
Leafhoppers have been identified as a serious threat to different plants. To explore the characteristics of mitogenomes and reveal the phylogenetic positions of two species in the Typhlocybinae, complete mitogenomes of Singapora shinshana and Seriana bacilla were sequenced and annotated for the first time with lengths of 15,402 bp and 15,383 bp, respectively. The two mitogenomes contained 13 PCGs, 22 tRNA genes and 2 rRNA genes. The genome content, gene order, nucleotide composition, codon usage and amino acid composition are similar to those of other typical mitogenomes of Typhlocybinae. All 13 PCGs started with ATN codons, except for atp8 (TTA) and nad5 (TTG). All tRNAs were folded into a typical cloverleaf secondary structure, except for tRNA-Ser1 and tRNA-Val. Moreover, phylogenetic trees were constructed and analyzed based on all the PCGs from 42 mitogenomes using maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian inference (BI) methods. The results supported that eleven subfamilies are all monophyletic groups, S. shinshana and S. bacilla are members of Erythroneurini, but S. shinshana and the genus Empoascanara have a very close relationship with ((((Empoascanara sipra+ Empoascanara wengangensis) + Empoascanara dwalata) + Empoascanara gracilis) + S. shinshana), and S. bacilla is closely related to the genus Mitjaevia ((Mitjaevia dworakowskae + Mitjaevia shibingensis) + S. bacilla). These results provide valuable information for future study of evolutionary relationships in Typhlocybinae.

Revisiting the Phylogenetic Relationship and Evolution of Gargarini with Mitochondrial Genome (Hemiptera: Membracidae: Centrotinae). Int J Mol Sci 2022; 24:ijms24010694. [PMID: 36614137 PMCID: PMC9821036 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24010694] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2022] [Revised: 12/02/2022] [Accepted: 12/15/2022] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
In this study, we newly sequenced and analyzed the complete mitochondrial genomes of five genera and six species in Gargarini: Antialcidas floripennae, Centrotoscelus davidi, Kotogargara minuta, Machaerotypus stigmosus, Tricentrus fulgidus, and Tricentrus gammamaculatus. The mitochondrial genomes contain 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and a control region. The lengths of the mitochondrial genomes are 15,253 bp to 15,812 bp, and the AT contents of the obtained mitogenomes indicate a strong AT bias, ranging from 75.8% to 78.5%. The start codons of all PCGs show that most start with a typical ATN (ATA/T/G/C) codon and less start with T/GTG; the stop codon TAA is frequently used, and TAG and a single T are less used. In Gargarini mitogenomes, all tRNA genes can be folded into the canonical cloverleaf secondary structure, except for trnaS1, which lacks a stable dihydrouridine (DHU) stem and is replaced by a simple loop. At the same time, the phylogenetic analysis of the tribe Gargarini based on sequence data of 13 PCGs from 18 treehopper species and four outgroups revealed that the 10 Gargarini species form a steady group with strong support and form a sister group with Leptocentrini, Hypsauchenini, Centrotini, and Leptobelini. Diversification within Gargarini is distinguished by a Later Cretaceous divergence that led to the rapid diversification of the species. Moreover, the ancestral state reconstructions analysis showed the absence of the suprahumeral horn, which was confirmed as the ancestor characteristic of the treehopper, which has evolved from simple to complex. Our results shed new light specifically on the molecular and phylogenetic evolution of the pronotum in Gargarini.

Abstract
To accumulate evidence of the phylogeny of Mileewinae and the relationships among Mileewa, Processina, and Ujna genera, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genomes of four Mileewa spp., namely, Mileewa mira, Mileewa lamellata, Mileewa sharpa, and Mileewa amplimacula. The first complete mitogenome of the genus Processina (P. sexmaculata), established by Yang, Deitz & Li from China and comprising five species, was also sequenced in this study. Annotation showed that the five mitogenomes were 14787 -15436 bp in length, and all harbored 37 typical genes. The AT content of the five mitogenomes ranged from 78.3% to 80.2%, which was similar to that of other sequenced Mileewinae species. For protein-coding genes (PCGs), ATN was the start codon, while atp8 and nad5 genes were initiated with TTG, and a great majority of them used TAA or TAG as stop codons, whereas cox2 and nad1 ended with an incomplete codon T-. All tRNAs had a typical cloverleaf secondary structure, except for trnS1, which had a reduced dihydrouridine arm. We further used 59 Membracoidea species and two outgroups to reconstruct phylogenetic trees based on 13 PCGs under an independent partition model with Bayesian inference and Maximum-likelihood methods. Among these two trees, each of the subfamilies Cicadellinae, Typhlocybinae, and Mileewinae were recovered as a monophyletic group with high support values, suggesting that Typhlocybinae was more ancient than Mileewinae and Cicadellinae. Within the Mileewinae subfamily, all species maintained the same relationships and topologies according to both the BI and ML analyses (PP > 0.8, BS > 83) as follows: (M. sharpa + (U. puerana + ((M. ponta + (M. mira + M. lamellata)) + ((M. albovittata + (M. margheritae + M. amplimacula)) + (M. rufivena + (P. sexmaculata + M. alara)))))), and the monophyly of the genera Processina, Mileewa and Ujna were not supported. This study further enriches the Mileewinae mitogenome database and will contribute to future research on the systematics, evolution, and classification of this group.

PeerJ 2022; 10:e14026. [PMID: 36193437 PMCID: PMC9526418 DOI: 10.7717/peerj.14026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2022] [Accepted: 08/16/2022] [Indexed: 01/19/2023] Open
Abstract
A new species, Atkinsoniella zizhongi sp. nov. of the subfamily Cicadellinae, was described and illustrated from China. The new species is similar to A. nigrominiatula (Jacobi, 1944), A. limba Kuoh, 1991, A. dormana Li, 1992, A. peaka Yang, Meng et Li, 2017, and A. divaricata Yang, Meng et Li, 2017. But the characteristics of aedeagus and pygofer process can be used to distinguish them easily. The complete mitochondrial genome of the paratype was sequenced and assembled. The mitogenome of A. zizhongi sp. nov. was 16,483 bp in length, with an A+T content of 75.9%, containing 37 typical genes and a control region (CR). The gene order was consistent with the inferred insect ancestral mitochondrial genome. All of the PCGs were determined to have the typical stop codon TAA or TAG, while COX2 and ND5 ended with incomplete termination codons T and TA, respectively. In addition, phylogenetic trees were reconstructed based on PCGs and rRNAs using both the maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian inference (BI) methods. The results showed that the intergeneric and interspecific relationships within the subfamily Cicadellinae were completely consistent in all of the phylogenetic trees, except that the different interspecific relationships within the genus Bothrogonia were detected in the ML analysis based on the amino acid sequences. This study enriches the species diversity of Cicadellinae and further promotes research on its phylogeny.

INSECTS 2022; 13:insects13030254. [PMID: 35323552 PMCID: PMC8953490 DOI: 10.3390/insects13030254] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2022] [Revised: 02/25/2022] [Accepted: 03/01/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
Simple Summary Atkinsoniella is a large genus of 98 species across the world and 88 species recorded in China within the globally distributed subfamily Cicadellinae, which is phytophagous, and some of which have been reported as important agricultural pests. Some Atkinsoniella species are very similar in morphological characteristics, making accurate identification at species level confusing. To provide further evidence toward understanding the relationships within the genus Atkinsoniella and subfamily Cicadellinae, mitogenomes of 12 Atkinsoniella sibling species were obtained and annotated. Their characteristics were comparatively analyzed. In addition, the comprehensive phylogenetic relationship within the subfamily Cicadellinae was determined based on three mitochondrial datasets using both the maximum-likelihood (ML) and Bayesian inference (BI) methods. The results suggested that the genus Atkinsoniella was recovered as a monophyletic group. The branches of the 12 newly sequenced species were clearly separated, with most nodes receiving strong support in all analyses, indicating that mitogenomics is an effective method for identifying closely related species and understanding their phylogenetic and evolutionary relationships. Abstract The herbivorous leafhopper genus Atkinsoniella Distant, 1908 (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Cicadellinae), a large genus of subfamily Cicadellinae, consists of 98 valid species worldwide and 88 species recorded in China. Some species of the genus are very similar in morphological characteristics, so they are difficult to identify accurately. In this study, 12 mitochondrial genomes of Atkinsoniella species with similar morphological characteristics were first obtained through high-throughput sequencing, which featured a typical circular molecule of 15,034–15,988 bp in length. The arrangement and orientation of 37 genes were identical to those of typical Cicadellidae mitogenomes. The phylogenetic relationship within the subfamily Cicadellinae was reconstructed using maximum-likelihood (ML) and Bayesian inference (BI) methods based on three concatenated datasets. The topological structures of the six obtained phylogenetic trees were highly consistent. The results suggested that Atkinsoniella was recovered as a monophyletic group and emerged as a sister group with the monophyletic clade of Bothrogonia, Paracrocampsa (part), and Draeculacephala (part). The branches of the 12 newly sequenced species were clearly separated, with most nodes receiving strong support in all analyses. In addition, the key to the 12 Atkinsoniella species was provided to identify species according to morphological characteristics. This study further promotes research on the classification, genetics, evolution, and phylogeny of the genus Atkinsoniella and subfamily Cicadellinae.
