Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of Stictochironomus akizukii (Tokunaga) was sequenced. The circular mitochondrial genome is 15,052 bp and consists of 13 protein-coding, 3 ribosomal RNAs, and 22 transfer RNA genes (GenBank accession no. MT185679). Results of maximum likelihood analysis showed that this species clustered with other species of the family Chironomidae. This study will contribute to the phylogenetics of genus Stictochironomus and the other genera of Chironomidae.

Keywords: Mitochondrial genome; Chironomidae.
