Complete mitochondrial genomes from three species of the genus Peckia (Sarcophagidae) with forensic entomology interest

Figures & data

Figure 1. Molecular phylogenetic inferences of Peckia mitogenomes. The phylogenetic analyses were made using the MEGA 7 software (Kumar et al.2016) based on the maximum likelihood (ML) model with the nearest-neighbour-interchange heuristic method. The D-loop region was excluded from this analysis due to its high degree of variability (Gonder et al.2007). The tree revealed that the Sarcophagidae species show a good degree of separation and structured branches, and suggests that the Peckia clade is monophyletic. The Peckia specimens are highlighted in grey. The mitogenomes for comparison were obtained from the NCBI database: Musca domestica (KT272857.1) – used as outgroup, Sarcophaga impatiens (JN859549.1), Sarcophaga melanura (KP091687.1), Neobellieria bullata (KT272859.1), Sarcophaga crassipalpis (KC005711.1), Sarcophaga peregrina (KF921296.1), Sarcophaga formosensis (MF688648.1), Sarcophaga africa (KM881633.1), Sarcophaga portschinskyi (KM287570.1), Sarcophaga similis (KM287431.1), Sarcophaga albiceps (KT444443.1), Sarcophaga misera (MF133500.1).
