Abstract:
Trichogramma chilonis Ishii is an important natural enemy of several lepidopterous pests on crops. In this study, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of T. chilonis (GenBank accession number MW789210). The length of the complete mitochondrial genome was 16,147 bp, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and a non-coding control region. The overall base composition of the genome in descending order was 44.8% T, 41.8% A, 9.0% G and 4.5% C, with a significant AT bias of 86.6%. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that T. chilonis had a close relationship with Trichogramma ostriniae.
