Figure 2. Gene map of the mitochondrial genome of Meroplius fukuharai (GenBank accession number: OR270120), with 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs, and two rRNAs.

Figure 3. Bayesian phylogenetic tree of 15 Diptera species. The posterior probabilities are labeled at each node (0.6 and greater). GenBank accession numbers of all sequence used in the phylogenetic tree have been included in figure and corresponding to the names of all species. The following sequences were used: Archisepsis discolor (KT272843, Junqueira et al. 2016), Dryomyza anilis (NC_063098), Meroplius fukuharai (OR270120), Microsepsis sp. (KT272774, Junqueira et al. 2016), Muscina angustifrons (KY495724, Karagozlu et al. 2017), Nemopoda mamaevi (NC_026866, Li et al. 2015), Nemopoda nitidula (MT622513), Pherbellia dubia (MT628567), Renocera pallida (MT872671), Sciomyza simplex (MT410781), Sepsis monostigma (MW438294, Yang and Wang 2021), Sepsis punctum (MT483615), Tetanops sintenisi (MT795181), Themira lucida (MT483646), and Themira nigricornis (OR074474, Wong et al. 2023).
