The complete mitochondrial genome of Notonecta chinensis Fallou and implications for the phylogeny of Notonectidae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera)

The complete mitochondrial genome of Notonecta chinensis Fallou was sequenced and was 15,149 bp long with 75.6% A+T. There were 37 typical genes including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNAs), and two ribosomal RNA (rRNAs). The 531 bp D-loop region was located between 12S rRNA and trnI-Ile. All PCGs started with ATN codons, except COI and ND4L, and ended with TAA, except COII, COIII, ATPase6 and ND3. Phylogenetic analyses highly supported the monophyly for each superfamily. Notonectoidea was formed a solid monophyletic group, with N. chinensis and Enithares tibialis clustered into one clade.
