Abstract:
Meroplius fukuharai is an important sanitary and ecological resource insect. We sequenced and annotated the mitogenome of Meroplius fukuharai which is the first representative of the genus Meroplius with nearly complete mitochondrial data. This mitogenome is 14,803 bp long, which consists of 22 transfer RNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), and two ribosomal RNA genes. All genes have a conservational arrangement with other published species of Sepsidae. Our results also supported the monophyly of Sepsidae, and the genus Meroplius is more closely related to genus Sepsis, Microsepsis, and Archisepsis.
