Abstract:
Graphomya rufitibia (Diptera: Muscidae) was distributed worldwide. In this study, the complete mitogenome of G. rufitibia was sequenced and annotated, and the full-length was a 15,374 bp fragment, consisting of A (40.64%), G (8.96%), T (36.80%), and C (13.59%). The mitogenome is composed of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and a non-coding AT-rich region. Most PCGs used the canonical putative codon to start and stop, 21 tRNAs are folded into the classic clover-leaf structure, with the one exception of tRNA-Ser (AGN). A total length of 11,182 bp encoding 3727 amino acids, and account for 72.7% of the whole mitogenome. Phylogenetic analyses showed that G. rufitibia belongs to family Mydaeinae.
