The complete mitochondrial genome of the giant casemaker caddisfly (Insecta: Trichoptera: Phryganeidae).

The rush sedge caddisfly Walker, 1852 (Phryganeidae, the giant casemakers), is a widespread and adaptable North American caddisfly. Genome skimming by Illumina sequencing permitted the assembly of a complete 15,043 bp circular mitogenome from consisting of 78.2% AT nucleotides, 22 tRNAs, 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNAs and a control region in the ancestral insect gene order. features an atypical CGA start codon and and exhibit incomplete stop codons completed by the addition of 3' A residues to the mRNA. Phylogenetic reconstruction reveals a monophyletic Order Trichoptera and Family Phyrganeidae.
