Mitogenomes of the two historical species Seira ferrarii Parona, 1888 and Seira pallidipes Reuter, 1895 (Collembola, Entomobryidae, Seirinae) with their phylogenetic placement within Seirinae

The present paper reports the first occurrence of Seira ferrarii Parona, 1888 from Hungary. On this occasion, molecular analyses were performed on both S. and another historical species genus, pallidipes Reuter, 1895, originally described Using low-coverage whole-genome sequencing, complete mitogenomes assembled annotated using MitoZ. To test phylogenetic placement species, we maximum likelihood Bayesian a matrix containing 14 Seirinae two outgroups. Both resultant trees showed that European populations sampled spp. likely derive ancestral branches Seirinae, compared to Asian American populations. Our results put in question monophyly genus , as already observed previous studies.
