Abstract

In this study, we determined the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of click beetle Chiagosnius vittiger (Heyden, 1887) (GenBank accession no. MN306531) using next-generation sequencing (NGS) method. The mitogenome is 15,842 bp in length, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), and one non-coding control region. The overall nucleotide composition was 41.6% A, 31.1% T, 16.9% C, and 10.4% G, with 72.7% AT, respectively. The gene arrangement is consistent with the typical insect mitochondrial genome. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that C. vittiger clustered into a clade with Chiagosnius sulcicollis with high bootstrap support.
