The first complete mitochondrial genome of Hexagenia rigida Mc Dunnough, 1924 (Ephemeroptera: Ephemeridae) and its phylogeny.

ABSTRACT: The phylogenetic relationship of Ephemeridae (Insect: Ephemeroptera) remains hotly debated using mitochondrial (mt) genomes. All previously reported mt genomes of Ephemeridae belong to the genus Ephemera. This study provides the first complete mt genome sequence from the genus Hexagenia with an analysis of the mitogenome of Hexagenia rigida Mc Dunnough, 1924 (Ephemeroptera: Ephemeridae) and providing new information to discuss the phylogenetic relationships within Ephemeroptera. The complete mt genome of H. rigida was a circular molecule of 16,159 bp in length, containing 37 genes (2 rRNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes), which showed the typical mt gene arrangement of insects. The AT content of the whole genome was 70.0% and the length of the cont
