Abstract
The nearly complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Sinopyrophorus schimmeli Bi et Li, the luminous click beetle recorded in Asia, is described in this study. It totalizes 15,951 bp and contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and most part of AT-rich region. Thirteen PCGs totalize 11,136 bp, start with ATN, stop with TAA/G, except for cox2 and cox3 stopping with T. The rrnL and rrnS are 1280 and 862 bp, respectively. The AT-rich region contains several structures characteristic of the Coleoptera. The phylogenetic analyses of 13 PCGs confirm the position of S. schimmeli in Elateridae.
