Abstract
ABSTRACTWe report here the full mitochondrial genome sequence of Aethina tumida, a Nitidulidae species beetle, that is a pest of bee hives. The obtained sequence is 16,576 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 22 tRNAs.

We report here the full mitochondrial genome sequence of Aethina tumida, a Nitidulidae species beetle, that is a pest of bee hives
The specimen of A. tumida used for this study was collected from South Africa and confirmed by the Biosystematics Division of the Plant Protection Research Institute (Pretoria, South Africa)
The obtained reads were aligned with the 12,988-bp sequence as a reference and the putative mitochondrial contigs from the small hive beetle (SHB) transcriptome (5)
Summary
We report here the full mitochondrial genome sequence of Aethina tumida, a Nitidulidae species beetle, that is a pest of bee hives. The specimen of A. tumida used for this study was collected from South Africa and confirmed by the Biosystematics Division of the Plant Protection Research Institute (Pretoria, South Africa). The sequencing strategy used corresponded to a mix of three technologies. The genomic DNA was first obtained from a single whole specimen and used for library preparation.
