Alignments of the intergenic spacers in Hycleus mitochondrial genomes. a IGS1 located between trnW and trnC. The nucleotides in red refer to consistent ones in three Hycleus species. The shaded nucleotides indicate the congruent motif (AAATTATGG) found in Hycleus insects. - refers to gap (b) IGS2 located between trnS2 and nad1. The shaded nucleotides indicate the conserved pentanucleotide motif (TACTA). The nucleotides in red indicate the 18 bp conservative sequence ATACTAAAYTTTRTTAAC. - refer to gaps, dots refer to omitted nucleotides
