is one of the most species-rich yet taxonomically problematic ant genus. An East Asian species, Wheeler, W.M., 1906, is reproduced by obligate thelytokous parthenogenesis and performs strict reproductive division of labor. We sequenced the mitogenome using next-generation sequencing methods. The circular mitogenome of was 16,290 bp in length, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNAs, and a single non-coding region of 568 bp. The base composition was AT-biased (82%). Gene order rearrangements were detected and likely to be unique to the genus . We announce the mitogenome as additional genomic resources for elucidating phylogenetic and taxonomic problems of and comparative genomics of parthenogenetic ant species.
是物种最为丰富但分类学上存在问题的蚁属之一。一种东亚物种，惠勒，W.M.，1906年，通过专性产雌孤雌生殖进行繁殖，并进行严格的生殖分工。我们使用下一代测序方法对线粒体基因组进行了测序。该物种的环状线粒体基因组长度为16290 bp，由13个蛋白质编码基因、两个核糖体RNA基因、22个转运RNA和一个568 bp的单一非编码区组成。碱基组成偏向于AT（82%）。检测到基因顺序重排，这可能是该属所特有的。我们公布该物种的线粒体基因组，作为阐明该物种系统发育和分类学问题以及孤雌生殖蚁物种比较基因组学的额外基因组资源。
