Parochlus steinenii is a winged midge found in the Antarctic Peninsula and its offshore islands. We determined the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of P. steinenii, which is comprised of 16 803 nucleotides and contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, and the large (rrnL) and small (rrnS) rRNA genes. Its total A + T content is 72.5%. The PCG arrangement of P. steinenii is identical to that of the ancestral Diptera ground pattern. This is the first report on the mitogenome sequence of an Antarctic midge, and provides insights into the evolution of dipterans in Antarctica.
斯坦内尼氏小蠓是一种在南极半岛及其近海岛屿发现的有翅蠓。我们测定了斯坦内尼氏小蠓的完整线粒体基因组序列,其由16803个核苷酸组成,包含13个蛋白质编码基因(PCGs)、22个tRNA基因以及大核糖体RNA基因(rrnL)和小核糖体RNA基因(rrnS)。其总的A+T含量为72.5%。斯坦内尼氏小蠓的蛋白质编码基因排列与祖先双翅目基本模式相同。这是关于南极蠓线粒体基因组序列的首次报道,并为南极双翅目昆虫的进化提供了见解。
