Complete mitogenome for the ber fruit fly, Carpomya vesuviana (Diptera: Tephritidae) from Toksun, Northwest China and its phylogenetic relationship within family Tephritidae

Abstract

Carpomya vesuviana (Diptera: Tephritidae), commonly known as the ber fruit fly, is the most destructive insect pest of 'ber' (jujube) throughout Asia and Western Europe. Complete sequence of the mitogenome of C. vesuviana has been determined in this study. The circular genome is 15,267 bp long and contains a standard gene complement, that is, the large and small ribosomal RNA subunits, 22 transfer RNA genes, 13 genes encoding mitochondrial proteins, and a non-coding A + T-rich control region. The phylogeny showed that C. vesuviana of subfamily Trypetinae was monophyletic and clearly separated from both Dacinae and Tephritinae with maximum support (p = 1).
