The first complete mitochondrial genome of Lixus subtilis Boheman is reported in this study. The circular genome is 15,223 bp long, including a standard set of 21 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), 2 ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), 13 protein-coding genes, and a non-coding control region. The trnI gene was not found in the L. subtilis mitogenome. All tRNAs had the typical cloverleaf structure, except for trnS1, which lacked the dihydrouridine arm. The phylogenetic tree of 13 Curculionidae species based on the concatenated nucleotide sequences of complete mitochondrial genomes strongly supported that L. subtilis is closely related to Curculioninae and Molytinae.

It is here designated as lectotype with ��� Lectotypus, ��, Lixus subtilis Boh., G��ltekin des. 2006 ���. Remarks. The species is closely related to Lixus incanescens Boheman but differs by the larger punctation on the pronotum and shape of aedeagus at apex., Published as part of G��ltekin, Levent, 2010, Taxonomic remarks on some genera of Lixini Schoenherr, 1823 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), pp. 1-21 in Zootaxa 2411 on page 11, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.293282, {"references":["Boheman, C.
