Abstract:
Blaps rhynchopetera is a species of folk medicinal beetle that has been used for a long time in Southwest China. The complete mitogenome of the beetle (GenBank accession number MK854717) is 16,149 bp in size, including 13 protein-coding, 22 transfer RNAs, two ribosomal RNAs genes, and a noncoding D-loop region. The D-loop of 1255 bp length is located between rRNA-S and tRNAIle. The overall base composition of B. rhynchopetera is 41.58% for A, 10.31% for G, 31.77% for T, and 16.34% for C, with a high AT bias of 73.35%. The present data could contribute to detailed phylogeographic analysis of this valuable medicinal insect.
