The mitochondrial genome of Medetera sp. (Diptera: Dolichopodidae)

Abstract

The long-legged fly Medetera sp. (Genbank accession number: MN604695) belongs to the subfamily Medeterinae of Dolichopodidae. The mitogenome of Medetera sp. was sequenced, the first representative of the mitogenome of the subfamily. The mitogenome is 14,740 bp totally, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNAs, and 22 transfer RNAs. All genes have similar locations and strands with that of other published species of Dolichopodidae. The nucleotide composition biases toward A and T, which together made up 67.6％ of the entirety. Bayesian inference analysis strongly supported the monophyly of Dolichopodidae. It suggested that subfamily Medeterinae is the sister group of subfamily Rhaphiinae.

The mitochondrial genome of Hercostomus brevipilosus (Diptera: Dolichopodidae)

“…The nearly complete mitogenome of H. brevipilosus is 15,019 bp. It encoded 13 PCGs, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes and the control region could not be sequenced entirely in this study, and were similar with related reports before (Kang et al 2014;Li et al 2016Li et al , 2017Wang, Liu, et al 2016;Zhou et al 2017;Qilemoge, Gao, et al 2018;Qilemoge, Zhang, et al 2018;Hou et al 2019;Qilemoge, Zhang, et al 2019;Qilemoge, Lin, et al 2019). The nucleotide composition of the mitogenome was biased toward A and T, with 73.9% of A þ T content (A ¼ 38.9%, T ¼ 35.0%, C ¼ 15.4%, G ¼ 10.7%).…”

The mitochondrial genome of Chelipoda sp. (Diptera: Empididae)

“…is 14,976 bp (GenBank accession number: MT396991). It encoded 13 PCGs, 22 tRNA genes, and 2 rRNA genes and were similar with the related reports published before (Yang et al 2019;Hou et al 2019;Qilemoge et al 2019Qilemoge et al , 2020. All genes have the locations and strands similar to other published Empididae species.…”
