The complete mitochondrial genome of the firefly <i>Aquatica hydrophila</i> (Jeng, Lai & Yang, 2003) (Coleoptera, Lampyridae) and its phylogenetic analysis.

ABSTRACT: The complete mitochondrial genome of Aquatica hydrophila spans 16,394 bp and includes the standard set of 37 genes, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, and 2 rRNA genes, along with a control region. All PCGs initiate with the typical ATN start codon except nd1; most terminate with TAA/TAG, while cox2, cox3, nd4, and nd5 use a single-T incomplete stop. The rRNA genes measure 1337 bp (rrn16) and 837 bp (rrn12). The control region is 2,219 bp, located between rrn12 and trnI. Maximum-likelihood analysis of 13 concatenated PCGs positions A. hydrophila within a monophyletic Aquatica, as a sister taxon to (A. wuhana + (A. leii + A. ficta)); Aquatica is recovered
