Megaxyela Ashmead, 1898 comprises 13 species, four of which are described as new and one is removed from synonymy: euchroma Blank, Shinohara & Wei sp. nov. China (Zheijang), M. fulvago (Hunan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang), inversa Blank D.R. Smith the USA (West Virginia), langstoni Ross, 1936 rev. eastern USA, pulchra Sundukov (Hubei, Jilin, Liaoning, Shaanxi, Tibet), South Korea (Kangwon-do) Russia (Primorskiy Kray). The male parki Shinohara, 1992 for first time. A lectotype designated gigantea...
Phylogenomic approaches have recently helped elucidate various insect relationships, but large-scale comprehensive analyses on relationships within sawflies and woodwasps are still lacking. Here, we infer the long-term biogeographic history of these hymenopteran groups using a large dataset 354 UCE loci collected from 385 species that represent all major lineages. Early Hymenoptera started diversifying during Triassic ∼249 Ma spread over ancient supercontinent Pangaea. We recovered Xyeloidea...
A molecular analysis based on mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (COI) gene sequences has indicated that larvae collected in Sichuan and Zhejiang Provinces, China, belong to Onycholyda xanthogaster Shinohara, 1999, O. fulvicornis Shinohara & Wei, 2016 (Hymenoptera, Pamphiliidae), a male specimen from Mt. Tianmushan, Province is the hitherto unknown of tianmushana Xiao, 2006. The first host plant records are Rubus inopertus (Focke) Focke (Rosaceae) for hirsutus Thunb. fulvicornis....
In this paper, a new species of Pristiphora is described and illustrated, P. brevitheca sp. nov. collected in Hebei Province from China. Based on the morphological characteristics females males maximum likelihood tree analysis based COI, it determined that belongs to abietina group. Partial mitochondrial genome 21 tRNA secondary structures are described. The partial (16,187 bp) contains 36 genes: 13 protein-coding genes, tRNAs, 2 rRNAs. Notably, trnQ control region (CR) missing assembly. A+T...
The systematic status of the genus Athalia and related genera is a perennial controversy in sawfly taxonomy. Several authors have hypothesized that placement within Tenthredinidae artificial, but no studies focused on this topic. If hypothesis does not belong to can be supported, taxonomic framework Tenthredinoidea needs revision. We present comprehensive phylogenomic study Tenthredinoidae, focusing positions by sampling 80 representatives mainly Tenthredinoidea, including Heptamelinae...
The Aglaostigma niuae group is established, and its diagnosis briefly discussed. Four new species of the A. from China are described illustrated: hejunhuai sp. nov., leucotarsalina A tricoloricorne nov. key to all provided.
Abstract Mitogenomes are known for their structural dynamics and the complexity of rearrangement patterns. However, utility in metazoan comparative biology has not been fully exploited. Vertebrate mitogenomes now sufficiently representative to allow development more advanced methods comparing genome architecture. Furthermore, relatively robust phylogeny vertebrates at higher taxonomic ranks allows us infer patterns evolution accordingly. In this study, using amphibians as an example, we...
A molecular analysis based on mitochondrial COI+tRNA(Leu)+COII gene sequences has shown that unidentified larvae collected in Hunan, Hubei and Sichuan Provinces, China, belong to Onycholyda flavicostalis Shinohara, 2012, O. sichuanica Naito Huang, 1988 (Hymenoptera: Pamphiliidae), the latter species is conspecific with fanjingshanica Jiang, Wei Zhu, 2004. thus synonymized sichuanica. The first host plant records are Rubus adenophorus Rolfe (Rosaceae) for spp. of briefly described newly...
The taxonomic history of the genus Siobla Cameron, 1877 is outlined, and redescribed. Nine species groups are recognized. Keys for separation annulicornis group acutiscutella provided. sp. nov., S. leucocincta weni nov. acutiserrula all from China, described. previously described species, Wei & Nie, 1999, zhangi Wei, 2005 sheni 2002 illustrated. nanlingia a new synonym 2005.
Tenthredinidae represents one of the external feeders most diverse superfamily, Tenthredinoidea, with host plant utilization. In this study, four complete mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes), those Cladiucha punctata, magnoliae, Megabeleses and liriodendrovorax, are newly sequenced comparatively analyzed previously reported tenthredinid mitogenomes. The close investigation mitogenomes phylogeny leads us to following conclusions: subfamilial relationships phylogenetic placements within mostly...
Anhoplocampa is redescribed based on new material. bicoloricornis sp. n. from China described. A. yunanensis (Haris & Roller, 1999) comb. transferred Trichiocampus. A key to species of provided. The differences between and Trichiocampus Hartig, 1837, Priophorus Dahlbom, 1835, Hoplocampa 1837 Renonerva Wei Nie, 1998 are briefly discussed.
Labriocimbex sinicus Yan & Wei gen. et sp. nov. of Cimbicidae is described. The new genus similar to Praia Andre and Trichiosoma Leach. A key extant Holarctic genera Cimbicinae provided. To identify the phylogenetic placement Cimbicidae, mitochondrial genome L. was annotated characterized using high-throughput sequencing data. complete obtained with a length 15,405 bp (GenBank: MH136623; SRA: SRR8270383) typical set 37 genes (22 tRNAs, 13 PCGs, two rRNAs). results demonstrated that all PCGs...
Quantifying the features of mitochondrial genome structural variation is crucial for understanding its contribution to complexity. Accurate quantification and interpretation organizational diversity can help uncover biological evolutionary laws patterns. The current qMGR approach accumulates changes in two adjacent genes calculate rearrangement frequency RF each single gene score RS specific taxa mitogenomes a given taxonomic group. However, it may introduce bias, as assigns scores rather...
