Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic analysis of Coelophora saucia (Mulsant, 1850) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)

Coelophora saucia is an important natural enemy insect in agricultural production. We determined the complete mitochondrial genome of the C. saucia by high-throughput sequencing, and the mitogenome was 18,068 bp in length, with a GC content of 20.9%, encodes 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transporter RNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes and with a non-coding control region. A phylogenetic tree was constructed using the maximum likelihood (ML) method, and the results indicated that the C. saucia was most closely related to Propylea japonica and Propylea quattuordecimpunctata.
