Abstract
The complete mitochondrial genome of Parasarcophaga similis collected from China was determined using PCR reactions. The mitogenome was 15,158 bp in length with a total A + T content of 76.4%, consisting of 22 transfer RNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes and a control region. The gene contents of the mitogenome were identical to those observed in other insects. The overall base compositions of A, G, C and T were 39.54%, 9.43%, 14.20% and 36.83%, respectively. This paper aimed to improve and perfect dipteran mitochondrial genomes and provided the first complete mitochondrial genome of Parasarcophaga similis for entomologists as a potential tool for application of phylogenetic analysis and forensic entomology.
