The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of the jewel beetle, , was sequenced and described in the present study. The mitogenome of is a typical circular DNA molecule of 15,686 bp. All of the 37 mitochondrial genes (13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 22 tRNA genes) were annotated and a putative control region with 1135 bp in length was found between and . Protein-coding genes all initiate with ATN codons except for uses GTG. Most of the protein-coding genes use TAA or TAG as the stop codon, but , and terminate with a single T. All tRNAs have the clover-leaf structure except for and the length of them range from 60 to 71 bp. Genome organization and nucleotide composition of the mitogenome were also noted. Our phylogenetic analysis of Elateriformia supported the monophyly of Buprestoidea and the sister relationship between Buprestoidea and (Byrrhoidea + Elateroidea).
在本研究中，对宝石甲虫的完整线粒体基因组（线粒体基因组）进行了测序和描述。该宝石甲虫的线粒体基因组是一个典型的环状DNA分子，长度为15,686 bp。对所有37个线粒体基因（13个蛋白质编码基因、2个rRNA基因和22个tRNA基因）进行了注释，并在基因和基因之间发现了一个长度为1135 bp的假定控制区。除了使用GTG外，蛋白质编码基因均以ATN密码子起始。大多数蛋白质编码基因使用TAA或TAG作为终止密码子，但基因、基因和基因以单个T终止。除了和外，所有tRNA均具有三叶草结构，其长度范围为60至71 bp。还记录了线粒体基因组的基因组组织和核苷酸组成。我们对叩头虫总科的系统发育分析支持了吉丁虫超科的单系性以及吉丁虫超科与（沼甲超科 + 叩头虫超科）之间的姐妹关系。
