Abstract

This study sequenced and analyzed the nearly complete mitochondrial genome of Anthocoris kerzhneri. This mitogenome is 16,018 bp long and consisted of 13 protein-coding genes, 20 tRNA genes and two rRNA genes. All protein-coding genes begin with the typical ATN codons and end with TAA or TAG codons. Phylogenetic analysis confirmed that the Reduviidae and Anthocoridae were polyphyletic groups. The Miridae and Tingidae had a sister group relationship.

Keywords: Anthocoris kerzhneri; Mitochondrial genome; phylogenetic analysis.
