The mitochondrial genome of Argyra pingwuensis (Diptera: Dolichopodidae)

Abstract

The long-legged fly Argyra pingwuenesis Qilemoge, Wang et Yang (Genbank accession number: MK905737) belongs to the subfamily Diaphorinae of Dolichopodidae. The mitogenome of A. pingwuenesis was sequenced, the first representative of the mitogenome of the subfamily. The mitogenome is 15,859 bp long, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNAs, and 22 transfer RNAs. All genes have the similar locations and strands with that of other published species of Dolichopodidae. The nucleotide composition biases toward A and T, which together made up 74.6% of the entirety. Bayesian inference analysis strongly supported the monophyly of Dolichopodidae. It suggested that subfamily Diaphorinae is the sister group of subfamily Rhaphiinae.
