The complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic analysis of <i>Pealius mori</i> (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae)

The complete mitochondrial genome of <i>Pealius mori</i> (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) was determined in this study. The mitogenome was 15,654 bp long with 37 typical Insecta mitochondrial genes and one non-coding control region. Its gene content and order were different to other Hemiptera mitochondrial genomes. The overall nucleotide composition of the mitogenome was 42.62% A, 32.73% T, 11.12% G and 13.54% C, with an A + T bias of 75.34%. Phylogenetic analyses of 14 species in Aleyrodidae, 2 species in Lepidoptera and 1 species in Thysanoptera by Maximum Likelihood showed that <i>P. mori</i> China had been more closely related to <i>P. mori</i> France, closely related to <i>Pealius machili</i>. This result well supported the taxonomic position of Aleyrodidae and their close relationship with the <i>Pealius</i> category.
