Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies) is a small order at the base of flying insects (Pterygota). Resolving family-level phylogenetic relationships within this order receives great attention. Hereby, genetic data already resulted in various changes, which are however still under discussion. Mitochondrial genomes may further enhance such phylogenies. This study presents the complete mitochondrial genome of the Neotropical damselfly based on next generation sequencing (NGS) data on total genomic DNA. The total length comprises 16,094 bp and includes the standard metazoan set of 37 genes together with a 1376 bp long A + T rich (control) region. Gene content, gene arrangement and base frequency are consistent with other odonate mitochondrial genomes. It further contains four intergenic spacer regions, indicating a possible family specific feature for the Coenagrionidae and its close relatives.
蜻蜓目（蜻蜓和豆娘）是飞行昆虫（有翅亚纲）基部的一个小目。解决该目内科级系统发育关系受到了极大关注。在此，遗传数据已经导致了各种变化，然而这些变化仍在讨论之中。线粒体基因组可能会进一步完善此类系统发育研究。本研究基于对全基因组DNA的二代测序（NGS）数据，展示了新热带区豆娘的完整线粒体基因组。其全长为16,094 bp，包括后生动物标准的37个基因以及一个1376 bp长的富含A+T的（控制）区域。基因内容、基因排列和碱基频率与其他蜻蜓目线粒体基因组一致。它还包含四个基因间隔区，表明这可能是色蟌科及其近缘类群特有的家族特征。
