Abstract

(Smith) is an aggressive social wasp species of Vespidae family. This species is of medical importance for its dangerous sting, traditional medicinal use and valuable venom components. Here, a complete mitogenome of was presented. It was 16,730 bp in length with nucleotide composition of AT: 79.4% and CG: 20.6%. In total, 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA, and two ribosomal RNA genes were annotated in this mitogenome. Phylogenetic analysis was performed using with 20 other species of Vespidae. The result indicated those species of genus fell into a paraphyletic group. Moreover, the species with large body size were clustered into a clade. This mitogenome resource can contribute to further phylogenetic and taxonomic study on genus .
