Abstract
The crane fly Limonia phragmitidis belongs to family Limoniidae. The mitogenome of L. phragmitidis was sequenced, the new representative of the mitogenome of the family Limoniidae. The nearly complete mitogenome is 16,020 bp totally, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNAs, and 22 transfer RNAs. All genes have similar locations and strands with that of other published species of Limoniidae. The nucleotide composition biases toward A and T, which together made up 75.5％of the entirety. Bayesian inference analysis strongly supported the monophyly of Tipuloidea. It suggested that the phylogenetic relationship within Tipuloidea, Pediciidae + (Limoniidae + (Tipulidae + Cylindrotomidae)).
