Complete mitochondrial genome of (Scopoli). (Diptera, Coenomyiidae).

The dipteran family Coenomyiidae was firstly separated from the Xylophagidae by Akrira Nagatomi in 1975. We sequenced and annotated the mitochondrial genome of , the first representative of genera with complete mitochondrial data. This mitogenome is 17,283 bp totally, which consists of 22 transfer RNAs, 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs, and 1 non-coding control region. All genes have the conservational arrangement like other published species of brachyceran flies. The nucleotide composition biases toward A and T, the overall A + T% was up to 75.4% of the entire mitogenome. Both Bayesian inference and ML analysis strongly supported the sister relationship between Coenomyiidae and Xylophagidae. Our results also suggested that Xylophagomorpha is the sister group to Stratiomyomorpha.
