Abstract
The gall midge of Aphidoletes aphidimyza is ubiquitous, which larva is an effective predator of aphids and entomophagous arthropods used for aphids control. The complete mitogenome of A. aphidimyza was 14,982 bp in length, with 37 typical genes, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes (tRNAs), two rRNA genes (rRNAs). The gene order was consistent with those of known Cecidomyiidae species. All PCGs started with ATN and stopped with TAA. The nucleotide composition was highly A + T biased, accounting for ∼85% of the whole mitogenome. Phylogenetic results show that A. aphidimyza was clustered into the family Cecidomyiidae, which is sister to Cecidomyiidae sp. (MF410944).
