Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of Protaetia brevitarsis, an important Scarabaeidae insect that is distributed across most Asian countries, was characterized using long template PCR methods. It was 17,783 bp in length being composed of 13 protein coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), two ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs) and a non-coding region. The phylogenetic tree reconstructed based on the maximum likelihood (ML) method confirmed that P. brevitarsis was placed within the clade of Scarabaeidae and Polyphaga species forming a complete monophyly.
