First mitogenome of Anthomyia illocata (Diptera, Anthomyiidae) yielded by next-generation sequencing

Abstract

The mitochondrial genome of Anthomyia illocata Walker, 1857 belonging to the Anthomyiidae, was obtained using a next-generation sequencing approach. This 16,236 bp complete mitogenome consists of 13 protein-coding, two ribosomal RNA, and 22 transfer RNA genes, as well as a non-coding control region. The Anthomyiidae are reconstructed as a paraphyletic group, with the genera Pegomya recovered as a sister group of the Scathophagidae.
