The complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic analysis of Aoria bowringii (Baly, 1860)

We sequenced and annotated the complete mitochondrial genome of Aoria bowringii. The circular mitogenome is 17,054 bp in length and exhibits a strong A + T bias, with nucleotide composition A 47.71%, T 30.63%, C 16.00%, and G 5.67%. It contains the typical set of 37 metazoan mitochondrial genes, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes, and two ribosomal RNA genes, as well as a putative control region. A maximum-likelihood phylogenetic analysis based on 13 PCGs places A. bowringii as a highly supported sister species to its congener Aoria nigripes. This mitogenome provides a valuable molecular resource for future phylogenetic and population genetic studies of this insect pest.
