The first mitochondrial genome of <i>Meroplius fukuharai</i> (Diptera: Sepsidae)

<i>Meroplius fukuharai</i> is an important sanitary and ecological resource insect. We sequenced and annotated the mitogenome of <i>Meroplius fukuharai</i> which is the first representative of the genus <i>Meroplius</i> with nearly complete mitochondrial data. This mitogenome is 14,803 bp long, which consists of 22 transfer RNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), and two ribosomal RNA genes. All genes have a conservational arrangement with other published species of Sepsidae. Our results also supported the monophyly of Sepsidae, and the genus <i>Meroplius</i> is more closely related to genus <i>Sepsis</i>, <i>Microsepsis</i>, and <i>Archisepsis</i>.
