Abstract
Sarcophila rasnitzyni Rohdendorf and Verves, 1985 (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) is of potential significance in medicine and epidemiology. In this study, we present the mitochondrial genome of S. rasnitzyni. The full length of the mitochondrial genome is 15,321 bp (GenBank accession no. MW592359), and 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), and a non-coding control region were identified. Nucleotide composition is A 38.0%, G 9.9%, C 14.9%, T 37.2%, respectively. It reveals a strong A + T bias (75.2%). Phylogenetic analysis indicates that the species-level relationship between S. rasnitzyni and S. mongolica closely clusters together, and separates clearly from the rest of species. This study provides important genetic data for further enriching our understanding of phylogenetic relationship of sarcophagids species.

KEYWORDS Mitochondrial genome; Sarcophila mongolica; phylogenetic analysis Sarcophila rasnitzyni Rohdendorf and Verves, 1985 (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) mainly distributed in China (Beijing, Heilongjiang, Neimenggu, Qinghai, Xinjiang), Mongolia and Russia (East Siberia) (Pape 1996; Xu and Zhao 1996). The adult of S. rasnitzyni colonized on the decomposed carcasses (Xu and Zhao 1996).
