Abstract
The bazaar fly, Musca sorbens (Diptera: Muscidae) Wiedemann, 1830 is a world-wide species with sanitary, medical, and veterinary importance. The complete mitochondrial genome of M. sorbens is sequenced to better understand the mitogenomic characteristics and phylogeny of this species. The circular mitogenome is 16,120 bp in length, contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes (tRNAs), two rRNA genes, and an AT-rich control region. The mitogenome comprises an A + T content of 77.4%. All PCGs start with “ATN” codons except for COI which starts with TCG, and terminate with the common stop codons TNN. A phylogenetic tree, including six Muscidae species, is reconstructed based on the whole mitogenome sequences. The interspecific distances of mitogenomes between the six Muscidae species range from 0.059 to 0.168.

The specimens were collected from a snake carcass in Cangyuan, Lincang, Yunnan, China (235402800N, 991305200E) in May 2016. All of these specimens are deposited in Department of Entomology, South China Agricultural University, Guangzhou, China (SCAU)
Twenty-six overlapping fragments were amplified using total genomic DNA as templates following the study of Zhang et al (2013, 2015), except for the 25th primer pair was designed as 50-AGGGT ATCTAATCCTAGTT-30 and 50-TATAAATGGGGTATGAGC CC-30 using available mitogenome sequences of Muscidae (Li et al 2014; Lan et al 2015)
