Analysis of the nearly complete mitochondrial genome of Paederus fuscipes (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae)

AbstractThe nearly complete mitochondrial genome of Paederus fuscipes (GenBank accession no. MG581161) is 17,644 bp in size, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, two ribosomal RNAs, and a partial control region. The gene order is similar to the typical insect mitochondrial genome. Maximum likelihood tree recovered the monophyly of Staphylininae, Pselaphinae, Paederinae and Aleocharinae. Additionally, Staphylininae is a sister group to Paederinae.
