Abstract

We assembled the mitochondrial genome of the capniid stonefly Mesocapnia arizonensis (Baumann & Gaufin, 1969) using Illumina HiSeq sequence data. The recovered mitogenome is 14,921 bp in length and includes 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes and 22 transfer RNA genes. The control region could only be assembled partially. Gene order resembles that of basal arthropods. This is the first partial mitogenome sequence for the stonefly superfamily group Euholognatha and will be useful in future phylogenetic analyses.

Keywords: Insecta; Mesocapnia arizonensis; mitogenome; plecoptera; stoneflies.
