Abstract

Trichopria drosophilae (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) is an important pupal endoparasitoid of Drosophila species, which has been found to be an ideal biocontrol agent to D. suzukii. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of T. drosophilae (GeneBank accession number: MN966974) was sequenced using Illumina HiSeq X Ten system. The mitochondrial genome is 16,375 bp long and comprises 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and 2 ribosomal RNA genes. Among them, 24 genes are in majority strand, while the others are in minority strand. The nucleotide composition of A, G, C, T is 44.9%, 6.4%, 5.6%, 43.2% respectively. We also performed a phylogenetic analysis with other known mitochondrial genomes within four families that have been shown to parasitize drosophilid species. The result shows that T. drosophilae is closely related to Ismarus sp.
