Beetle genus (Meloidae) was described by Fabricius (1775) and had been well known due to its relevance to traditional medicine (e.g., cantharidin production). Here, we sequenced and annotated the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of , one of species within . This mitogenome was 15,149 bp long and encoded 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs) and two ribosomal RNA unit genes (rRNAs). All 13 PCGs were initiated by the ATN (ATG, ATT and ATA) codon. All PCGs terminated with the stop codon TAA or TAG except for , , and which end with the incomplete codon T-. Phylogenetic analysis showed that got together with the same genus species sp., and three species (, and ), indicating has a closer relationship with than other genera within Meloidae.
芫菁属（芫菁科）由法布尔（1775年）描述，因其与传统医学的相关性（如斑蝥素的生产）而广为人知。在此，我们对芫菁属内一种物种的线粒体基因组（线粒体基因组）进行了测序和注释。该线粒体基因组长度为15,149 bp，编码13个蛋白质编码基因（PCG）、22个转运RNA基因（tRNA）和两个核糖体RNA单位基因（rRNA）。所有13个PCG均由ATN（ATG、ATT和ATA）密码子起始。除了 、 、 和 以不完整密码子T-结尾外，所有PCG均以终止密码子TAA或TAG结束。系统发育分析表明， 与同属物种 种、 和三种芫菁属物种（ 、 和 ）聚在一起，表明 与 相比，与芫菁科内的其他属关系更密切。
