The complete mitochondrial genome of Eristalinus viridis (Coquillett, 1898) (Diptera: Syrphidae) and its phylogenetic implications

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of Eristalinus viridis (Coquillett, 1898) was obtained for the first time using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS). The mitogenome assembly of E. viridis is 15,640 bp in length and its annotation confirms the presence of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), two ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs), and one putative control region. The results of the phylogenetic analyses using Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian inference recover a highly supported sister relationship between E. viridis and Mallota bellus.
