Abstract

A non-biting midge has been widely used in ecotoxicology and chemical risk assessments. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequence of was determined using short-read next-generation sequencing technologies. The mitogenome was 15,734 bp in length and consisted of 13 protein coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs, and 22 transfer RNAs. The A + T content was 77.8%. The gene order was identical to the pattern conserved across Diptera. The mitocgenome sequence obtained in this study provides a useful resource for further evolutionary and ecological studies.
