The complete mitochondrial genome of <i>Peleteria iavana</i> (Diptera, Tachinidae) in Guizhou, China, and its phylogenetic placement

The mitochondrial genome of the tachinid fly <i>Peleteria iavana</i> (Wiedemann, 1819), which belongs to the family Tachinidae, was obtained for the first time using high-throughput sequencing techniques. The complete mitochondrial genome is 15,697 bp in size and consists of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNAs and a non-coding control region. The nucleotide composition biases A and T, the overall A + T percentage is up to 78.9% of the entire mitogenome. A phylogenetic analysis of 30 species within the family Tachinidae suggested that <i>P. iavana</i> is most closely related to (<i>Janthinomyia</i> sp.+<i>Lydina aenea</i>). The <i>P. iavana</i> mitochondrial genome will be a fundamental resource for understanding the molecular phylogenetic relationships of the species-rich subfamily Tachininae of Tachinidae.
