【 摘 要 】

Sarcophaga tsinanensis (Fan, 1964) (Diptera: Sarcophagidae), a species from subgenus Heteronychia. In this study, we report the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of S. tsinanensis. The length of this mitogenome was 14,972 bp in total, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs, and a non-coding control region. The arrangement of genes was the same as that of ancestral metazoan. Sarcophaga tsinanensis has a high nucleotide bias in A/T accounting for 76.80% of total nucleotides (A 39.9%, G 9.2%, C 13.9%, and T 36.9%). The result of phylogenetic analysis revealed that S. tsinanensis cluster together with species from the same subgenus Heteronychia, showing a clear monophyletic relationship. Sarcophaga tsinanensis is closely related to its sister species Sarcophaga depressifrons, Sarcophaga plotnikovi, and Sarcophaga shnitnikovi. This study provides the mitochondrial data of S. tsinanensis for further research on evolutionary relationships and species identification of flesh flies.
