Abstract:
Hermetia illucens, one kind of necrophagous insects, belongs to the family Stratiomyidae (Diptera). In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of H. illucens was investigated. The total number of nucleic acids were 15,698 bp. The genome contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and a non-coding control region. The phylogenetic relationship of H. illucens and its 12 related species was reconstructed to confirm the taxonomic status of our sample.
