Abstract

Ischnura asiatica (Brauer, 1865) is a freshwater damselfly belonging to the family Coenagrionidae that is distributed across most of Korea, primarily in areas with low water flow, such as ponds and wetlands. The complete mitochondrial genome of I. asiatica was sequenced by next-generation sequencing. The circular mitochondrial genome was found to be 15,769 bp long, with of 13 protein-coding, two ribosomal RNA, and 22 transfer RNA genes (GenBank accession no. OM310774). Maximum likelihood, phylogenetic analysis showed that this species clustered with other species belonging to the family Coenagrionidae. This study contributes to the phylogeny of damselflies and other members of the family Coenagrionidae.
