Abstract

The parasitic wasp Anisopteromalus calandrae is a natural enemy of numbers store product pests. The mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of A. calandrae was obtained by second-generation sequencing. The assembled mitogenome of A. calandrae is 15,954 bp long (GenBank accession: MW817149) and contains 37 typical animal mitochondrial genes. The order of the mitochondrial genes is identical to that of another species of Chalcidoidae (Pteromalus puparum). All protein-coding genes start with ATN codons, and end with TAA, except NAD4 and NAD5 with T.

Keywords: Anisopteromalus calandrae; Hymenoptera; mitochondrial genome; parasitic wasp.
