Abstract
The sweet potato weevil, Cylas formicarius is the most important pest of sweet potato, Ipomoea batatas (L.). In this study, we have sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of Cylas formicarius (Coleoptera: Brentidae). The mitochondrial genome is 17,150 bp length (GenBank no. MK421358) has A + T content of 78.4% (A = 39.3%; T = 39.1%; C = 13.2%, and G = 8.4%), which is the classical structure for insect mitogenome. All PCGs started with ATN except COX2, which started with TTG and all PCGs terminated with conventional stop codons TAA/TAG. The phylogenetic tree confirms that C. formicarius is clustered with other three Brentidae with strongly supported. This study enriches the mitogenomes of the Coleoptera family Brentidae.
