(1) Background: Mitochondrial genomes are important markers for the study of phylogenetics and systematics. Triozidae includes some primary pests of Populus euphratica. The phylogenetic relationships of this group remain controversial due to the lack of molecular data. (2) Methods: Mitochondria of Egeirotrioza Boselli were sequenced and assembled. We analyzed the sequence length, nucleotide composition, and evolutionary rate of Triozidae, combined with the 13 published mitochondrial genomes. (3) Results: The evolutionary rate of protein-coding genes was as follows: ATP8 > ND6 > ND5 > ND2 > ND4 > ND4L > ND1 > ND3 > APT6 > CYTB > COX3 > COX2 > COX1. We reconstructed the phylogenetic relationships of Triozidae based on 16 triozid mitochondrial genomes (thirteen ingroups and three outgroups) using the maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian inference (BI) approaches. The phylogenetic analysis of the 16 Triozidae mitochondrial genomes showed that Egeirotrioza was closely related to Leptynoptera. (4) Conclusions: We have identified 13 PCGs, 22 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs, and 1 control region (CR) of all newly sequenced mitochondrial genomes, which were the mitochondrial gene type in animals. The results of this study provide valuable genomic information for the study of psyllid species.
Sphaerodactylidae play a crucial role in ecosystems, possessing significant ecological, scientific, and conservation value. They contribute to pest control and the maintenance of ecological balance, and also provide abundant materials for research in evolutionary biology and biodiversity. To refine the phylogenetic position of Teratoscincus scincus within the Sphaerodactylidae using mitogenomic data, this study sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of T. scincus using the Illumina NovaSeq Xplus platform, and subsequently performed assembly, annotation, and analysis. The phylogenetic relationships of T. scincus within the Sphaerodactylidae were analyzed using 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs) from the mitochondrial genome via Bayesian inference (BI) and maximum likelihood (ML) methods. The complete mitochondrial genome of T. scincus is 16,943 bp in length and consists of 13 PCGs, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 1 control region (D-loop). The base composition shows a distinct AT preference, with the highest A + T content (56.3%) found in the PCGs region. A phylogenetic tree was constructed based on the amino acid sequences of 13 PCGs from the mitochondrial genomes of nine Sphaerodactylidae species retrieved from GenBank and the newly sequenced T. scincus generated in this study. The results confirm that T. scincus belongs to the genus Teratoscincus within the family Sphaerodactylidae. Phylogenetic analysis reveals that T. scincus and Teratoscincus keyserlingii cluster into a monophyletic group, suggesting a close phylogenetic relationship. Additionally, the phylogenetic tree provides new molecular evidence for understanding the formation mechanism of Sphaerodactylidae diversity. This study not only enriches the mitochondrial genome database of Sphaerodactylidae but also lays an important foundation for subsequent research on the adaptive evolution and conservation biology of T. scincus.
