The Mitochondrial Genomes of Two Parasitoid Wasps and (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) with Phylogenetic Implications and Novel Gene Rearrangements.

(Wilkinson, 1928) and (Haliday, 1834) are the most important parasitic wasps of Warren and (Prout). We sequenced and annotated the mitochondrial genomes of and , which are 17,063 bp and 16,397 bp in length, respectively, and possess 37 mitochondrial genes. We discovered two novel types of gene rearrangement, the local inversion of in and the remote inversion of the block in within the mitogenomes of Braconidae. The phylogenetic analysis supported the subfamily Microgastrinae is a monophyletic group, but the tribes Apantelini and Cotesiini within this subfamily are paraphyletic groups.
