Abstract:
The dance fly Trichoclinocera yixianensis Li et Yang belongs to the subfamily Clinocerinae of Empididae. The mitogenome of T. yixianensis was sequenced, the first representative of the mitogenome of the subfamily. The nearly complete mitogenome is 15,595 bp totally, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNAs, and 22 transfer RNAs. All genes have the similar locations and strands with that of other published species of Empididae. The nucleotide composition biases toward A and T, which together made up 80.1% of the entirety. Bayesian inference analysis strongly supported the monophyly of Empididae and Dolichopodidae. It suggested that Empididae is the sister group to the clade of Dolichopodidae and Empidinae is the sister group to the clade of Clinocerinae + Trichopezinae.
