Abstract

Telenomus remus Nixon, 1937 is an important parasitoid of lepidopterans. We sequenced the mitochondrial genome of T. remus, 15,500 bp in size, and possessed all 37 typical mitochondrial genes. A few tRNAs show gene arrangements compared with the ancestral gene order, mainly involving in the four tRNA clusters (E-C-Y-Q-I-A, D-K, N-F-S1-R, and M-V). The nucleotide sequences of 13 protein-coding genes of this sequence and another seven species from Platygastridae were used for phylogenetic analysis by MrBayes, with two species from Cynipoidea as an outgroup. The topology demonstrated that T. remus was most closely related to Telenomus sp.
