Complete mitochondrial genome of the bamboo-shoot fruit fly, Acrotaeniostola dissimilis (Diptera: Tephritidae) and its phylogenetic relationship within family Tephritidae

Abstract

Acrotaeniostola dissimilis (Diptera: Tephritidae) is an insect pest of bamboo shoot and distributed in the Yunnan and Sichuan Provinces, Southwest China. Complete mitogenome sequence has been determined in this study. The circular genome is 15384 bp long and contains a standard gene complement, that is, the large and small ribosomal RNA subunits, 22 transfer RNA genes, 13 genes encoding mitochondrial proteins, and a non-coding A + T-rich control region. The phylogeny showed that A. dissimilis in tribe Gastrozonini was a monophyletic branch and clearly separated from both tribe Dacini and tribe Ceratitidini with high bootstrap value supported.
