Evolutionary insights from the mitochondrial genomes of invasive scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha): large-scale transfer RNA gene truncations and tandem repeat-driven intraspecific gene rearrangements [PDF]
BMC GenomicsBackground Coccomorphan mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) exhibit a suite of unconventional genomic features. However, the insufficient mitogenomic data from Coccomorpha, which includes numerous economically important plant pests, hampers not only the ...

Nomenclature of the veins of the fore wings of male scale insects (Hemiptera, Coccomorpha) [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2022 The venation of the fore wings of male scale insects is strongly reduced and the nomenclature used for each vein is inconsistent among taxonomists. This paper reviews the different nomenclatural systems in the wing venation of male scale insects that ...

Unraveling an extreme AT-rich and complex mitochondrial genome: the first complete mitogenome of the species-rich family Diaspididae (Hemiptera, Coccomorpha) and its evolutionary implications [PDF]
ZooKeysThe assembly of insect mitochondrial genomes remains challenging in certain taxa due to extreme AT biases and long repetitive regions. The family Diaspididae (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha) exemplifies this difficulty; despite more than 2,700 described species ...
