The mitochondrial genome of Oreogeton sp. (Diptera: Empididae)

Abstract

The dance fly Oreogeton sp. belongs to the subfamily Oreogetoninae of Empididae. The mitogenome of Oreogeton sp. (GenBank accession number: MK639348) was sequenced, the first representative of the mitogenome of the subfamily. The nearly complete mitogenome is 15,718 bp totally, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNAs, and 22 transfer RNAs. All genes have the similar locations and strands with that of other published species of Empididae. The nucleotide composition biases toward A and T, which together made up 77.2％of the entirety. Bayesian inference analysis strongly supported the monophyly of Empidoidea, Empididae, and Dolichopodidae. This result also suggested that Oreogetoninae was assigned to the sister group to the clade that consists of Trichopezinae and Clinocerinae, and then Empidinae is the sister to the clade that contains Oreogetoninae, Trichopezinae, and Clinocerinae.
