Abstract:
The complete mitochondrial genome of Pedetontus zhejiangensis (Microcoryphia: Machilidae) was successfully sequenced. The mitochondrial genome of P. zhejiangensis was a circular molecule of 15,602 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and the control region, which showed the typical insect mitochondrial genome arrangement. The AT content of the whole genome was 73.8% and the length of the control region was 671 bp with 82.5% AT content. In BI and ML phylogenetic trees, P. zhejiangensis was a sister group to Pedetontus silvestrii, and the monophyly of Pedetontus was strongly supported. The genus Pedetontinus was a sister group to Pedetontus.
