Coleoptera presents most of the cave fauna biodiversity, with several troglobite species belonging to the aquatic family Dytiscidae. However, very little is known on both genetic and genomic diversity traits of Neotropical cave beetles. Thus, here we present the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of five specimens of collected in a ferruginous cave from Serra dos Carajás in Parauapebas (Pará, Brazil, Eastern Amazon). Besides the general characteristics of the mitogenome of the analyzed specimens, we present their phylogenetic position within the family, considering the available genome sequences of different subfamilies within Dytiscidae.
鞘翅目呈现了大部分洞穴动物群的生物多样性,有几种洞穴特有物种属于水生的龙虱科。然而,对于新热带洞穴甲虫的遗传和基因组多样性特征,我们所知甚少。因此,在这里我们展示了从帕劳阿佩巴斯(巴西帕拉州,亚马逊东部)卡拉雅斯山脉的一个含铁洞穴中采集的五个标本的完整线粒体基因组序列。除了分析标本的线粒体基因组的一般特征外,考虑到龙虱科不同亚科的可用基因组序列,我们还展示了它们在该科内的系统发育位置。
