ABSTRACT: Sarcophaga scopariiformis (Diptera: Sarcophagidae), a potential vector of pathogens as well as one of the important flesh fly specie in forensic entomology. We have firstly sequenced and assembled the whole mitogenome of S. scopariiformis in this study. The circular mitogenome is 15,325 bp in length, consisting of A (39.3%), G (9.4%), T (36.8%), and C (14.5%). It showed in a typical mitochondrial genome similar to other sarcophagids species, which is composed of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNA), 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNA), and a non-coding AT-rich region. Moreover, the phylogenetic analysis based on 13 PCGs has been conducted. The topological structure of the phylogenetic tree clearly indicated that S. scopariiformis was more closed to the species of Sarcophaga peregrina in genetic distance, compared to the other sarcophagids species. This study provided a useful data reference for genetic structure and phylogenetic analysis of Sarcophagidae.
