The complete mitochondrial genome of Burmagomphus sowerbyi (Odonata: Gomphidae) and its phylogenetic implications

Burmagomphus sowerbyi (Needham, 1930) belongs to the family Gomphidae in the order Odonata. The mitochondrial genome is 15,720 bp in length with an overall GC content of 27.4% and contained 13 PCGs, two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, an origin of light-strand replication and one control region which was 916 bp and has the polyC–polyG block regions. Phylogenetic analyses using the concatenated sequences of 13 PCGs of 16 Gomphidae mitogenomes revealed that B. sowerbyi belongs to the monophyly Gomphinae. The current results are beneficial to future investigations into the phylogenetic relationship of the Gomphidae and molecular references for aquatic macroinvertebrates.
