Description
Summary:Pseudorhaetus sinicus is a stag beetle common to China and Vietnam, but whose distribution is limited within China. Little is known about the molecular biological characteristics of this species, so we characterized its complete mitochondrial genome (GenBank accession number MZ504793.1). The mitogenome consists of a circular DNA molecule of 18,126 bp, with 67.693% AT content. It contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, and two rRNA genes. The PCGs have typical ATN (Met) start codons and TAN stop codons. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that P. sinicus is closely related to Prosopocoilus confucius. This newly described mitochondrial genome provides a valuable resource for the phylogenetic analysis of Lucanidae beetles.
