Abstract

Fopius arisanus (Sonan, 1932), an important egg parasitoid of several notorious tephritid pests, plays a key role in biological control programs. In the present study, the whole mitochondrial genome of F. arisanus was sequenced and characterized. The mitogenome of F. arisanus is 16,425 bp in length with 14.94% GC content, and contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), and two ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs). The phylogenetic trees demonstrated that F. arisanus is sister group to Psyttalia concolor, P. humilis, P. lounsburyi and Diachasmimorpha longicaudata.

Keywords: Fopius arisanus; mitochondrial genome; phylogenetic tree; tephritid.
