The flightless beetle genus Scopoli, 1777 (Geotrupidae, Scarabaeoidea) has a large distribution area throughout Eurasia and is characterized by many species, especially in Middle Asia. Despite this diversity and the potential importance as models for speciation, species are underrepresented in molecular databases. To fill this gap, we report the complete mitochondrial genome of obtained using third-generation sequencing technology. The circular mitogenome is 24,944 bp long and has a structure characteristic of coleopterans. It contains 37 genes, including 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and an A+T-rich non-coding region, the control region between the 12S rRNA and tRNA- (GAU). The phylogenetic analysis of the superfamily Scarabaeoidea placed in the monophyletic family Geotrupidae, which is related to the family Scarabaeidae. The assembled mitochondrial genome is a valuable new genomic resource in the genus and contributes to a better understanding of the evolutionary history of the genus and the entire family Geotrupidae.
无翅甲虫属斯科波利（Scopoli，1777年）（粪金龟科，金龟总科）在欧亚大陆分布广泛，物种众多，尤其是在中亚地区。尽管该属具有多样性且作为物种形成模型具有潜在重要性，但在分子数据库中其物种代表性不足。为填补这一空白，我们报告了使用第三代测序技术获得的[该属某物种]的完整线粒体基因组。该环状线粒体基因组长度为24,944 bp，具有鞘翅目昆虫的结构特征。它包含37个基因，包括13个蛋白质编码基因、两个核糖体RNA基因、22个转运RNA基因以及一个富含A+T的非编码区，即12S rRNA和tRNA-（GAU）之间的控制区。金龟总科的系统发育分析将[该物种]置于单系的粪金龟科中，粪金龟科与金龟科相关。组装的线粒体基因组是该属宝贵的新基因组资源，有助于更好地理解该属以及整个粪金龟科的进化历史。
