Abstract:
The Sigara lateralis (Leach, 1817) is a small aquatic insect belonging to the family Corixidae. The study aims to reveal the genomic data of the mitochondrial genome of S. lateralis. The length of its circular mitochondrial genome is 15,725 bp long with an A + T bias (75.96%). The mitogenome comprises 37 genes, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes, and two rRNA genes. The phylogenetic analyses showed that the S. lateralis is the closest to S. septemlineata. These findings will help the conservation of Corixidae from the perspective of genetic evolution.
