Neoceratitis asiatica (Becker) (Diptera: Tephritidae) is one of the most important fruit pestsof wolfberry which is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb. We characterized the complete mitochondrial genome of N. asiatica and described its organization in this study. This mitogenome had a total length of 15,481 bp, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes and a non-coding region (A + T-rich control region). The overall base composition of N. asiatica in descending order was 40.6% A, 8.5% G, 38.4% T and 12.6% C. The phylogenetic relationships shows that Ceratitis capitata and N. asiatica may be sister taxa. This is the first report of the complete mitochondrial genome of a member of the Neoceratitis Genus and the complete mitochondrial genome sequence may provide useful information for phylogenetic analysis and studies between the genera Ceratitis and Neoceratitis.
中华亚种瘿蚊（Becker）（双翅目：瘿蚊科）是枸杞的一种重要水果害虫，枸杞是一种传统的中药。我们在本研究中对中华亚种瘿蚊的完整线粒体基因组进行了特征描述。该线粒体基因组全长 15481bp，由 13 个蛋白质编码基因、2 个 rRNA 基因、22 个 tRNA 基因和一个非编码区（A+T 丰富的调控区）组成。中华亚种瘿蚊的整体碱基组成按降序排列为 40.6%的 A、8.5%的 G、38.4%的 T 和 12.6%的 C。系统发育关系表明，地中海实蝇和中华亚种瘿蚊可能是姐妹种。这是 Neoceratitis 属成员的完整线粒体基因组的首次报道，完整的线粒体基因组序列可能为系统发育分析和 Ceratitis 属与 Neoceratitis 属之间的研究提供有用信息。
