In recent years, bat-associated pathogens, such as 2019 novel coronavirus, have been ravaging the world, and ectoparasites of bats have received increasing attention. is a member of the family Nycteribiidae which is a group of specialized ectoparasites of bats. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of was sequenced for the first time and a comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of the superfamily Hippoboscoidea was conducted. The complete mitochondrial genome of is 16 165 base pairs (bp) in size, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes and 1 control region. The phylogenetic analysis based on 13 PCGs of the superfamily Hippoboscoidea known from the NCBI supported the monophyly of the family Nycteribiidae, and the family Nycteribiidae was a sister group with the family Streblidae. This study not only provided molecular data for the identification of , but also provided a reference for the phylogenetic analysis of the superfamily Hippoboscoidea.
近年来，蝙蝠相关病原体（如 2019 年新型冠状病毒）肆虐全球，蝙蝠的外寄生虫越来越受到关注。 是蝠蝇科（Nycteribiidae）的一员，该科是蝙蝠的一类专门外寄生虫。本研究首次对 的完整线粒体基因组进行了测序，并对 Hippoboscoidea 超科进行了综合系统发育分析。 的完整线粒体基因组大小为 16165 个碱基对（bp），包括 13 个蛋白质编码基因（PCGs）、22 个转移 RNA 基因、2 个核糖体 RNA 基因和 1 个控制区。基于从 NCBI 获得的 Hippoboscoidea 超科的 13 个 PCGs 的系统发育分析支持蝠蝇科的单系性，而蝠蝇科与 Streblidae 科是姐妹群。本研究不仅为 的鉴定提供了分子数据，也为 Hippoboscoidea 超科的系统发育分析提供了参考。
