Abstract

Rice thrips, Stenchaetothrips biformis (Bagnall, 1913), are one of the destructive pests of rice. Here, the complete mitochondrial genome of S. biformis was sequenced using high-throughput sequencing. The mitogenome is 15,359 bp long with an A + T content of 76.94%, which contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNAs), 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs) and 2 putative control regions (CRs). The phylogenetic analysis showed that S. biformis is closely related to Thrips imaginis and Thrips palmi. This new mitochondrial genome data can be better used to provide a basis for studies of the mitochondrial evolution of Thysanoptera.

Keywords: Mitochondrial; Stenchaetothrips biformis; thysanoptera.
