Abstract

The diving beetles is one of the most critically endangered species in Japan, caused by excessive capture and destruction of their habitats. Here, the complete mitochondrial genome sequence (mitogenome) of is described. The entire mitogenome sequence was 19,476 bp long, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and 1 control region. The average A + T content of mitogenome was 81.3%. This is the first description of a complete mitochondrial genome of , and the second of Dytiscinae. The primary genetic data obtained in this study is expected to contribute to conservation genetic studies using various genetic analysis methods, including environmental DNA.

摘要

龙虱是日本最濒危的物种之一，原因是过度捕捞和栖息地破坏。本文描述了其完整的线粒体基因组序列（线粒体基因组）。整个线粒体基因组序列长19476bp，包含13个蛋白质编码基因、2个核糖体RNA基因、22个转运RNA基因和1个控制区。线粒体基因组的平均A+T含量为81.3%。这是首次对该物种完整线粒体基因组的描述，也是龙虱亚科的第二次描述。本研究获得的主要遗传数据有望为包括环境DNA在内的各种遗传分析方法的保护遗传学研究做出贡献。
