Sumario:The yellow crazy ant Anoplolepis gracilipes is an invasive species that threatens biodiversity in introduced ecosystems. We sequenced the A. gracilipes mitogenome using next-generation sequencing methods. The circular mitogenome of A. gracilipes was 16,943 bp included 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNAs, and a single large non-coding region of 893 bp. The base composition was AT-biased (72%). Three genomic rearrangements compared to ancestral insects were found. Phylogenetic analysis based on the concatenated nucleotide sequences of the 13 protein-coding genes supports A. gracilipes belonging to the Formicinae subfamily. We announce the A. gracilipes mitogenome as a DNA reference for further population genetic, phylogenetic, and evolutionary analyses.
