The genus Haemagogus (Diptera: Culicidae) comprises species of great epidemiological relevance, involved in transmission cycles of the Yellow fever virus and other arboviruses in South America. So far, only Haemagogus janthinomys has complete mitochondrial sequences available. Given the unavailability of information related to aspects of the evolutionary biology and molecular taxonomy of this genus, we report here, the first sequencing of the mitogenomes of Haemagogus albomaculatus, Haemagogus leucocelaenus, Haemagogus spegazzinii, and Haemagogus tropicalis. The mitogenomes showed an average length of 15,038 bp, average AT content of 79.3%, positive AT-skews, negative GC-skews, and comprised 37 functional subunits (13 PCGs, 22 tRNA, and 02 rRNA). The PCGs showed ATN as start codon, TAA as stop codon, and signs of purifying selection. The tRNAs had the typical leaf clover structure, except tRNASer1. Phylogenetic analyzes of Bayesian inference and Maximum Likelihood, based on concatenated sequences from all 13 PCGs, produced identical topologies and strongly supported the monophyletic relationship between the Haemagogus and Conopostegus subgenera, and corroborated with the known taxonomic classification of the evaluated taxa, based on external morphological aspects. The information produced on the mitogenomes of the Haemagogus species evaluated here may be useful in carrying out future taxonomic and evolutionary studies of the genus.

Haemagogus contains 28 species (Arnell, 1973). Some of them have epidemiological importance through their involvement in the transmission of jungle or sylvan yellow fever (SYF). At least five species have been found naturally infected by the SYF virus and are responsible for maintaining the natural cycle of this zoonosis, and Hg. janthinomys Dyar has been incriminated as the main vector (Arnell, 1973).Immature forms of the genus Haemagogus develop mostly in natural sites such as holes in tree trunks. Less commonly, occurrences in other natural receptacles like bamboo and coconut husks have been recorded. More rarely, occurrences in abandoned vehicle tires have been found. Most of the common sites are well above ground level in the forest canopy (Forattini, 1965). Therefore, these observations remain scarce due to sampling difficulties.The study of the biology of the tropical populations that comprise this genus is of prime importance. There is still no in-depth knowledge regarding the ecology of this genus in areas that are considered to be enzootic for sylvan yellow fever.This paper records breeding sites used by species of Haemagogus collected in different areas of hydroelectric dams and/or environmental preservation areas in Brazil.
