Abstract
We sequenced the complete mitochondrial genomes of Togoperla limbata which is the unique species distributed in Japan to provide supplementary data for future study in phylogenetic studies of Perlidae. This complete mitogenome of T. limbata is 15,915 bp long, including 37 typical genes and a control region as other stoneflies. Through the data analysis, the A + T content of the whole mitogenome, PCGs, tRNAs, rRNAs, and control region was 63.7%, 61.3%, 68.7%, 66.8%, and 74.8%. Most PCGs used typical start or stop codon except COI, ND5, and ND1 used the exceptional start codon and the COII and ND5 used the single T as the stop codon. Phylogenetic tree was constructed by using Bayesian inference (BI) and maximum-likelihood (ML) analysis based on the sequences of the 13 PCGs and two rRNAs and the result showed that subfamily Perlinae was a monophyletic group and the clade Togoperla and Paragnetina had a closer relationship.
