Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of Leptopilina myrica Chen, 2023 has been sequenced and analyzed for the first time. The total length we assembled is 15,448 bp, which comprises 13 PCGs, 22 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs, and a CR. The overall nucleotide composition consists of 41.1% A, 37.7% T, 14.7% C, and 6.5% G, respectively. The nucleotide sequences of 13 PCGs and 2 rRNAs from L. myrica and another 10 Drosophila parasitoid species were used for phylogenetic analysis by MrBayes, with one species from Drosophilidae as an outgroup. The result shows that L. myrica is closely related to L. syphax.

Keywords: Leptopilina myrica; mitogenome; parasitoid; phylogeny.
