Characterization of the mitochondrial genome of Analcellicampa xanthosoma gen. et sp. nov. (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae)

A new genus with a new species of the tribe Hoplocampini of Hoplocampinae was described from China: Analcellicampa xanthosoma Wei & Niu, gen. et sp. nov. Hoplocampa danfengensis G. Xiao 1994 was designated as the type species of the new genus. The characters of Analcellicampa danfengensis (G. Xiao) comb. nov. were briefly discussed. A key to the tribes and known genera of Hoplocampinae was provided. The nearly complete mitochondrial genome of A. xanthosoma was characterized as having a length of 15,512 bp and containing 37 genes (22 tRNAs, 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), and 2 rRNAs). The gene order of this new specimen was the same as that in the inferred insect ancestral mitochondrial genome. All PCGs were initiated by ATN codons and ended with TAA or T stop codons. All tRNAs had a typical cloverleaf secondary structure, except for trnS1. Remarkably, the helices H991 of rrnS and H47 of rrnL were redundant, while helix H563 of rrnL was highly conserved. A phylogeny based on previously reported symphytan mitochondrial genomes showed that A. xanthosoma is a sister group to Monocellicampa pruni, with high support values. We suggest that A. xanthosoma and M. pruni belong to the tribe Hoplocampini of Hoplocampinae.

Based on a molecular phylogenetic study, Prous et al. (2014) proposed the latest system for Nematinae s. lat. The authors regarded (((Susana, Hoplocampa) Cladius) + Craterocercus + Monocellicampa) as a middle monophyletic clade of Nematinae s. lat. based on Bayesian analysis or ((Susana, Hoplocampa) (Moricella, Cladius)) as a basal monophyletic clade of Nematinae s. lat. based on maximum likelihood (ML) analysis. The branch of (Susana + Hoplocampa + Cladius) of Nematinae s. lat. is most likely a monophyletic group, although the systematic position and the members of the branch are uncertain: the position of Monocellicampa, Craterocercus and Moricella is questionable. Importantly, the cladograms of Nematinae s. lat. in Prous et al. (2014) were reconstructed based only on 400-bp sequences of the barcode region.
Based on a comparison of external morphology, Analcellicampa Wei & Niu gen. nov. and Monocellicampa Wei are undoubtedly members of Hoplocampini, and they are quite closely related to Hoplocampa, as shown by the following characteristics: head strongly flattened; mandibles short and hardly bent, symmetrically tridentate; epicnemium of the mesepisternum flat, with the epicnemial suture fine and vestigial; antenna short and filiform with two basal antennomeres much longer than broad; anal cell in the forewing with a long constricted petiole near the basal 0.4, vein 2r present, 1m-cu meeting cell 1Rs and 2m-cu meeting cell 2Rs; and radix of the lancet and lance quite short. Analcellicampa and Monocellicampa are probably sister groups within Hoplocampini, as the two genera share a peculiar synapomorphic character with the Nematidae of Wei & Nie (1998): cell M in the hind wing open. Caulocampus (Rohwer, 1912) and Armenocampus (Zinovjev, 2000) are two closely related genera and probably also members of Hoplocampini. In addition, Anhoplocampini, including Anhoplocampa (Wei, 1998) and Zhuangzhoua (Liu, Liu & Wei, 2017), is regarded as a tribe of Hoplocampinae and related to Cladiini (Liu, Liu & Wei, 2017).
Here, to confirm the sister group relationship between Monocellicampa and Analcellicampa and to help clarify the systematic position of Analcellicampa within Tenthredinidae, the mitochondrial genome of Analcellicampa xanthosoma was sequenced and phylogenetically analyzed, and the new genus and new species were described. For comparison and identification of the members of Hoplocampinae, a key to the tribes and known genera of Hoplocampinae was also provided.

Description of the new species
Insect specimens were examined using a Leica S8APO dissecting microscope. Detailed images of adults were taken with a Leica Z16 APO/DFC550 and were then montaged using Helicon Focus (Helicon Soft). Montaged images were further processed using Adobe Photoshop CS 6.0.
The terminology used for sawfly genitalia follows Ross (1945), whereas the terminology for general morphology follows Viitasaari (2002). Abbreviations are as follows: OOL = distance between the eye and outer edge of lateral ocelli; POL = distance between the mesal edges of lateral ocelli; and OCL = distance between the lateral ocellus and the occipital carina or hind margin of the head.
The holotype and all paratypes of the new species were deposited in the Asian Sawfly Collection (ASC), Nanchang, China.

DNA library construction and sequencing
Total DNA was extracted from A. xanthosoma using an E.Z.N.A. R Tissue DNA Kit (Omega, Norcross, GA) following the manufacturer's instructions and stored at −20 • C. Sequencing libraries with approximately 400-bp insertions were constructed using a NEXTflex TM Rapid DNA-Seq Kit (Illumina, San Diego, CA) according to the manufacturer's protocol. Each library was sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq X Ten to generate 150-bp paired-end reads.
The secondary structures of rrnS and rrnL were partitioned into four areas and six areas, respectively. Secondary structures of rRNAs were inferred using alignment to models predicted for Trichiosoma anthracinum and Labriocimbex sinicus (YC Yan, 2019, unpublished data). First, the primary sequence and the secondary structure of these two species were aligned in MARNA (Siebert & Backofen, 2005) to identify a consensus sequence as well as a consensus structure in the output files. Second, the secondary structures of rrnS and rrnL in A. xanthosoma were predicted by specific structural models in SSU-ALIGN (Nawrocki, 2009). Finally, the structures were artificially transformed into their relative secondary structures with minor changes.

Phylogenetic analysis
We used Maximum Likelihood (ML) and Bayesian inference (BI) methods to construct phylogenetic trees of selected species using 13 PCGs and two rRNAs ( Table 1). The mitochondrial genome sequences of the selected species were downloaded from GenBank. Thirteen PCGs were aligned individually by MUSCLE in MEGA v7.0, and two rRNAs were aligned by MAFFT (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/msa/mafft/) (Katoh & Standley, 2013). Then, the aligned nucleotide sequences were concatenated with SequenceMatrix v1.7.8 (Vaidya, Lohman & Meier, 2011) and partitioned into several data blocks.
The partitioned data block file was used to infer both partitioning schemes and substitution models in PartitionFinder v1.1.1 (Lanfear et al., 2012) with ''unlinked'' branch lengths under the ''greedy'' search algorithm. The standard partitioning schemes ''bic'' and ''aicc'' were selected for BI and ML analyses, respectively. BI analyses were conducted with the GTR + I + G model and HKY+G model using MrBayes v3.2.2 (Ronquist et al., 2012). Four simultaneous Markov chains (three cold, one heated) were run for two million generations in two independent runs, with sampling every 1,000 generations and 25% of the first generations discarded as burn-in.  Hamm & Collins (1993) ML analyses were conducted with the GTR + I + G, GTR + G and HKY + G models. With the best-fit model of nucleotide substitution, phylogenetic construction based on ML was performed on the IQ-TREE web server (http://iqtree.cibiv.univie.ac.at/). The previous data block file as well as the original parameters was also used. In addition, 0.1 was employed as the disturbance intensity, and 1,000, as the IQ-TREE stopping rule.

Architecture and nucleotide composition of the A. xanthosoma mitochondrial genome
The nearly complete mitochondrial genome of A. xanthosoma had a length of 15,512 bp and contained 37 genes (22 tRNAs, 13 PCGs, and two rRNAs). The mitogenome sequence was deposited in GenBank under the accession number MH992752. The metadata file of the mitogenome sequence was deposited in GenBank under the SRA accession number SUB4559596. The 37 genes, except for four PCGs (ND1, ND4, ND4L and ND5), two rRNAs and eight tRNAs, were located on the J-strand ( Table 2).
The gene order was the same as the ancestral order except for the IQM cluster (Fig. 5). Accordingly, the causes of mitochondrial genome rearrangements in insects are likely multifactorial, and much additional research is required (Cameron, 2014). In the A. xanthosoma mitochondrial genome, a total of 239 bp of intergenic spacer sequences were found in 18 locations (except for the A + T-rich region) and varied in size from one to 29 bp. Additionally, a total of 11 overlapping nucleotides were scattered in five locations, with the longest (ATGATAA) located between ATP8 and ATP6.

Protein-coding genes and codon usage
All PCGs were initiated with ATN as the start codon and ended with a complete termination codon except for the ND3 and ND4 genes, which terminated with an incomplete stop codon T ( Table 2).
The A + T content, AT-skew and GC-skew are three parameters usually used in investigations of nucleotide composition in mitochondrial genomes (Hassanin, Léger & Deutsch, 2005;Perna & Kocher, 1995). The A. xanthosoma mitochondrial genome was biased toward A and T, with an 80.0% A + T content (Table 3). The AT-and GC-skews were found to be mostly negative in different regions of the A. xanthosoma mitochondrial   (Table 3). An investigation of nucleotide skew statistics for the mitochondrial genome of A. xanthosoma revealed that PCGs in both strands were T-skewed, whereas the PCGs were C-skewed in the J-strand and G-skewed in the N-strand. Codon usage of the A. xanthosoma mitochondrial genome was shown in Table 4. We observed a relationship between the base composition of codon families and amino acid occurrence, which was assessed by calculating the number of G + C-rich codons (Pro, Ala, Arg, and Gly) and A + T-rich codons (Phe, Ile, Met, Tyr, Asn, and Lys) and then calculating their ratio (Crozier & Crozier, 1993). In A. xanthosoma, this ratio was 0.16, which was lower than that in M. pruni (Wei, Wu & Liu, 2015).
After several calculations, multiple observations were made. UUA-Leu had the highest RSCU, with an average value of 3.84. In addition, all codons with an RSCU greater than 2.00 had an A at the third codon position (Table 4). The A content of the third codon position was higher than that of the first codon position and lower than that of second codon positions in PCGs (Table 3). We therefore concluded that the nucleotide composition was closely related to codon usage.

Transfer RNA genes
The mitochondrial genome of A. xanthosoma contains 22 tRNA genes. Fourteen of the 22 tRNA genes were located on the J-strand, while the remaining were encoded by the opposite N-strand. The length of the tRNAs ranged from 64 bp (trnA) to 71 bp (trnK, trnV ). All predicted secondary structures of the tRNAs had a common cloverleaf pattern, with the exception of trnS1 (AGN), where the DHU arm was missing. Predicted secondary structures of the 22 tRNA genes were shown in Fig. 6.
The size of the variable loop and D-loop often determines the overall tRNA length (Navajas et al., 2002). In the secondary structure of the tRNAs of the A. xanthosoma mitochondrial genome, the DHU arms ranged between 3 and 4 bp in length, the AC arms ranged between 4 and 5 bp in length, and the T C arms varied from 3 to 5 bp in length. The length of the amino acid acceptor (AA) stem was conserved at 7 bp in all of the tRNA genes. The anticodon (AC) loops were usually 7 bp in length. The length of the variable loops was less consistent, ranging from 4 to 7 bp. The variable loops in trnD, trnF, trnG, trnH and trnT were completely conserved between A. xanthosoma and M. pruni and differed from those in Allantus luctifer, A. rufocephalus, Tenthredo tienmushana and Birmella discoidalisa. The AC loop in trnC, T C loop in trnS2, T C arm in trnY and AC arm in trnV were completely conserved in A. luctifer, A. rufocephalus, T. tienmushana, A. xanthosoma and M. pruni, while those in B. discoidalisa were different. The base between the DHU arm and AC arm in trnS2 was A in A. xanthosoma, M. pruni, and B. discoidalisa, while the base was U in A. luctifer, A. rufocephalus and T. tienmushana. A total of 21 unmatched base pairs were scattered throughout the 22 tRNA genes, including 13 pairs in the AA stems, five pairs in the DHU stems and three pairs in the T C stems. Fourteen of these unmatched base pairs were G-U pairs, which formed a stable hydrogen-bonded pair. The remaining unmatched pairs were U-U (6) and A-A (1) mismatches. The phenomenon of aberrant mismatches, loops, or extremely short arms for tRNA is common in metazoan mitochondrial genomes (Wolstenholme, 1992). Although whether the aberrant tRNAs have lost their respective functions is still unknown, such loss can be corrected by post-transcriptional RNA-editing processes (Lavrov, 2000;Masta & Boore, 2004). Ribosomal RNA genes The rrnL gene was 1,336 bp in length with an 83.4% A + T content, while rrnS was 800 bp in length with an 82.4% A + T content (Table 2). In addition, rrnL was located between trnL1 and trnV ; rrnS was located downstream of trnV. The secondary structures of rrnL and rrnS are shown in Figs. 7 and 8. Forty-four helices belonging to six domains were identified in the rrnL secondary structure of A. xanthosoma, similar to the findings for A. mellifera (Gillespie et al., 2006). In rrnL, domains IV and V were more conserved within the Tenthredinidae family. Eight helices (H563, H1775, H1830, H1925, H2023, H2043, H2547 and H2588) were highly conserved. Furthermore, some helices (H837, H991, H1196 and H2347) were highly variable in terms of their sequence and secondary structure compared with other insects (Gillespie et al., 2006;Du et al., 2018;Niu et al., 2019;Castro & Dowton, 2005;Dowton et al., 2009). Compared with A. mellifera, which harbored an A at position 75 (H235), an A at position 238 (H671) and an A at position 733 in H1835, A. luctifer, A. rufocephalus and T. tienmushana harbored a U at each site. H736 and H1764 were completely conserved in helices between A. xanthosoma and M. pruni but variable in A. luctifer, A. rufocephalus, T. tienmushana and B. discoidalisa. H687 was highly conserved in helices between A. xanthosoma and M. pruni, with only one change (an A at position 255 changed to a G). The H777 in B. discoidalisa was different from that in A. luctifer, A. rufocephalus, T. tienmushana, A. xanthosoma and M. pruni. Additionally, a U at position 342 was changed to a G in B. discoidalisa, and a U at position 510 in H1087 was changed to a C in B. discoidalisa. H822 was completely conserved in A. luctifer, A. rufocephalus, T. tienmushana and B. discoidalisa, while the G-C was replaced by a Watson-Crick A-U A. xanthosoma also expressed rrnS with 26 helices in four domains, consistent with the pattern observed in Zygaenoidea (Niehuis, Naumann & Misof, 2006). Specifically, H47 was variable among the different hymenopteran species, having a large loop. The loop size was variable and determined by the overall rrnS length. The H769 and H1399 were more similar to those of A. mellifera characterized by Gillespie et al. (2006) than to other helices. In rrnS, domain III was more conserved within Tenthredinidae than domains I, II, and VI. The loop between H39 and H47, the loop between H984 and H1047 at positions 497-491, as well as the H367 loop were completely conserved between A. xanthosoma and M. pruni but variable among A. luctifer, A. rufocephalus, T. tienmushana and B. discoidalisa. Compared with A. xanthosoma and M. pruni, a C at position 169 was changed to a U, a U at position 461 was changed to a A and a U at position 658 was changed to a G in A. luctifer, A. rufocephalus, T. tienmushana and B. discoidalisa. Similarly, a C-G pair was replaced by a C-G pair at positions 510-573 in A. luctifer, A. rufocephalus and T. tienmushana.
The secondary structures of rrnL and rrnS agreeded with the BI and ML analyses that A. xanthosoma + M. pruni is a sister group to (((A. luctifer + A. rufocephalus) T. tienmushana) B. discoidalisa).
Phylogenetic relationships within the suborder Symphyta were reconstructed using both BI and ML analyses (Fig. 9). They both grouped A. xanthosoma with M. pruni and revealed that A. xanthosoma + M. pruni is a sister group to (((A. luctifer + A. rufocephalus) T. tienmushana) B. discoidalisa) and that Tenthredinidae forms a sister group with Cimbicidae. The systematic position of Analcellicampa + Monocellicampa within Tenthredinidae (=Tenthredinoidea sensu Wei & Nie, 1998) agreed with the system of Wei & Nie (1998). Although there were some differences in our results between the two analytical methods, our findings largely agreed with traditional morphological classifications and recent molecular studies. Additionally, we demonstrated that mitochondrial genome sequences can be used to solve phylogenetic relationships at different taxonomic levels within Symphyta.
However, the relationship between Analcellicampa + Monocellicampa and other taxa of Nematinae needs further study as no mitochondrial genome has been sequenced for any member of Susanini, Cladiini or Nematini.

CONCLUSIONS
Analcellicampa is a peculiar new genus of Hoplocampinae and is closely allied to Monocellicampa Wei. Analcellicampa gen. nov. differs from the latter by the following characteristics: anal cell of the hind wing broadly opened at apex, the epicnemium large with a distinct epicnemial suture, the third tooth of the mandibles obtuse, the inner tibial spur of the foreleg simple with a membranous lobe far from the apex and the valviceps of the penis valve without a stout valvispina but with many small surface teeth. A. xanthosoma sp. nov. differs from A. danfengensis (Xiao, 1994) comb. nov. by the following: the thorax, Figure 9 Symphytan phylogenetic tree constructed with BI and ML approaches using a mitogenome dataset including 15 individual genes (13 PCGs and two rRNAs). Both analyses produced the same tree topology. Support values lower than 100% in the ML analysis and 1.0 in the BI analysis were shown.
Full-size DOI: 10.7717/peerj.6866/ fig-9 abdomen and legs almost entirely yellow-brown, the wings hyaline with the pterostigma and veins pale brown, the postocellar area approximately 3 times as broad as long, very long and slender cerci approximately 10 times as long as broad, the ovipositor apical sheath 1.6 times as long as the basal sheath and the basal 10 annular sutures of the lancet distinct. The nearly complete mitochondrial genome of A. xanthosoma was obtained and found to have a length of 15,512 bp and 37 genes (22 tRNAs, 13 PCGs, and two rRNAs). The gene order was the same as its ancestral type. The secondary structures of 22 tRNAs and two rRNAs resembled those of Symphyta, but some helices (H837, H991, H1196 and H2347) were highly variable in rrnL. The secondary structure of rrnL remains to be studied. Finally, phylogenetic reconstruction based on mitochondrial genomes (13 PCGs and two rRNAs) revealed similarly high support (100%) in both BI and ML analyses, with the result that A. xanthosoma was sister to M. pruni. We suggest that A. xanthosoma as well as M. pruni belongs to the tribe Hoplocampini of Hoplocampinae based on adult morphology and molecular data from the mitochondrial genome.
