The mitochondrial genome of Drino Sp. (Diptera, Tachinidae)

The tachinid fly Drino sp. belongs to the subfamily Exoristinae of Tachinidae. We sequenced and annotated the mitogenome of Drino sp. which makes this species first representative of the tribe Eryciini (Tachinidae: Exoristinae) with nearly complete mitochondrial data. This mitogenome is 15437 bp in total, which consists of 22 transfer RNAs, 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs and non-coding control region. All genes have the conservational arrangement with other published species of Tachinidae. The nucleotide composition biases toward A and T, the overall A + T% was up to 80.4% of the entire mitogenome. Bayesian inference analysis strongly supported the monophyly of Tachinidae and Exoristinae. Our results also suggested that Exoristinae is the sister group to Phasiinae, and Dexiinae is the sister group to the clade of Phasiinae + Exoristinae.
