Abstract
The crane fly Epiphragma (Epiphragma) mediale Mao and Yang, belongs to subfamily Limnophilinae of family Limoniidae. This mitogenome of E. (E.) mediale was sequenced used next-generation sequencing (NGS), the new representative of the mitogenome of the subfamily. The nearly complete mitogenome is 14,858 bp totally, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNAs and 22 transfer RNAs. All genes have the similar locations and strands with that of other published species of Limoniidae. The nucleotide composition biases toward A and T, which together made up 75.2% of the entirety. Bayesian inference analysis strongly supported the monophyly of Tipuloidea. It suggested that Pediciidae is the basal clade of Tipuloidea and the monophyletic Tipulidae was assigned as the sister to the monophyletic Cylindrotomidae. The phylogenetic relationship within Tipuloidea was as follows: Pediciidae + (Limoniidae + (Tipulidae + Cylindrotomidae)).
