Paurocephala sauteri Raw sequence reads. Paurocephala sauteri

Paurocephala sauteri (Enderlein, 1914) belongs to the tropical genus of Paurocephala, it is a specie of psyllid that distributed in China (Nantou Taiwan), Thailand, Philippines, India, Indonesia, Malaysia. Resent years, it was found serious occurrence in mulberry planting area in Hainan province, China. Mulberry is the only known host for P. sauteri until now. The phylogenetic relationships within the monophyly of many groups of Psylloidea remains questionable, and one of these groups is the mainly tropical genus Paurocephala, which has been a continuing source of confusion(Mifsud and Burckhardt, 2002). A lack of morphological synapomorphies makes the contribution of molecular data critical to reconstructing psyllid evolutionary history. Elucidating the sequence and structure of P. sauteri mitogenome is important for understanding its diversity and evolution.

桑氏平翅木虱（Paurocephala sauteri, Enderlein, 1914）隶属于平翅木虱属（Paurocephala）这一热带类群，属于木虱（psyllid）类昆虫，分布于中国台湾南投、泰国、菲律宾、印度、印度尼西亚、马来西亚。近年来，该虫在中国海南省桑园种植区域被发现发生为害严重。截至目前，桑树是已知的桑氏平翅木虱唯一寄主植物。木虱总科（Psylloidea）诸多类群的单系群内部系统发育关系仍存争议，其中以热带分布为主的平翅木虱属便是长期以来存在分类混淆的类群之一（Mifsud & Burckhardt, 2002）。由于缺乏形态共衍征（morphological synapomorphies），分子数据对于重建木虱演化历史而言至关重要。解析桑氏平翅木虱的线粒体基因组（mitogenome）序列与结构，对于理解该物种的多样性与演化历程具有重要意义。
