Abstract

Sipalus gigas is the main pine-hole borer of Pinus. The length of the complete mitochondria genome of S. gigas was 17,120 bp with 33.6% GC content, there were 35 genes including 13 protein-coding genes (CDS), 20 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), and two ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs). This study provides useful genetic information for subsequent studying the prevention of S. gigas.

Keywords: Sipalus gigas; mitochondria genome; phylogenetic analysis.
