The first complete mitochondrial genome of genus Phytomia (Diptera: Syrphidae).

The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Phytomia zonata was sequenced in this study, it is the first complete mitogenome in the genus Phytomia. The wholly sequence is a circular DNA, and with 15,716 bp in length including 37 typical genes. No gene arrangement was observed in this sequence. The common start and stop codons were ATN and TAA, respectively. A phylogenetic tree was generated based on dataset of 19 complete mitogenomes from hoverflies and two Lauxaniidae species which as outgoup, and shows Phytomia is closer to Eristalis, supports the monophyly of Syrphinae.
