The complete mitochondrial genome of Sarcophaga polystylata (Diptera: Sarcophagidae)

Abstract

Sarcophaga polystylata (Ho, 1934) remains to be of medical and epidemiological significance. Here, we report the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of S. polystylata (GenBank accession no. MW592361). The length of this mitogenome was 15,233 bp with 39.4% A, 9.5% G, 14.3% C, and 36.8% T. The mitogenome of S. polystylata was composed of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), and a non-coding control region. Phylogenetic tree indicated that S. polystylata and Sarcophaga peregrina clustered together closely, both of which separated clearly from other species. This study provides the mitochondrial genetic data of S. polystylata for further understanding the phylogenetic relationship of sarcophagids species.
