Characterization of complete mitogenome data of two flies (Diptera) as orchid pollinators from China

The Diptera insects have important ecological functions. Many plants rely on Diptera insects for pollination, and they play an important role in Co-evolution with plants. We described the detailed characteristics across the complete mitogenome sequences of Desmometopa sabroskyi Brake, 2003 (Diptera: Milichiidae) and an unidentified species of Gampsocera (Diptera: Chloropidae), which are pollinators of orchid species. Sequences were assembled and annotated using the reference genomes of Phyllomyza sp. (OP612805) and Elachiptera insignis (OP612812) available in Genbank. The complete mitogenomes of D. sabroskyi and Gampsocera sp. are 15,841 bp and 16,036 bp in length, respectively. Both mitogenomes include 37 genes consisting of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), two ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs), and one noncoding region (NCR). The mitogenome data would better contribute to species identification, taxonomy, phylogenetics, and evolutionary analysis of Diptera insects. .
