Characterization and phylogenetic analysis of the complete mitochondrial genome of Lathyrophthalmus quinquestriatus (Fabricius, 1794) (Diptera, Syrphidae)

Abstract

In this study, we present the complete mitogenome of Lathyrophthalmu quinquestriatus (Fabricius, 1794), which has a total length of 16,198 base pairs and includes 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes and one putative control region. Most PCGs started with ATN codons except COX1 (CAA), and ended with TAA, TAG (ND3) or single T(ND5). The results of phylogenetic tree reconstruction show that the monophyly of subfamily Eristalinae is not supported, and the closer relationship between genus Lathyrophthalmus and Eristalinus.
