The complete mitochondrial genome of a net-winged beetle was sequenced, Lycostomus sp. (Coleoptera: Lycidae). The total length of this mitogenome is 16096 bp and the composition of each base is A (41.1%), T (31.9%), C (17.1%), G (9.9%), respectively. The gene arrangement of this beetle mt genome is the same as other insects. The phylogenetic tree shows that Lycostomus sp. is closest to Platerodrilus sp. with robust statistical support, which confirms the monophyly of Lycidae.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
