Description
Summary:AbstractThe flightless intertidal beetle genus Aegialites (family Salpingidae) is distributed along the Northern Pacific coasts, from California to Alaska and from Northern Japan to Kamchatka. Systematics of Aegialites and its phylogenetic relationships to other members of Salpingidae are unclear, and little genetic information is available. We here present the first complete mitochondrial genome of this genus, represented by Aegialites californicus (Motchoulsky, 1845) from Sonoma County, California, U.S.A. The complete mitochondrial genome of A. californicus is 15,899 bp long and comprises 13 protein-coding (PCG), two ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes. The phylogenetic analysis places A.californicus as sister to other members of family Salpingidae. The mitochondrial genome sequence of A. californicus will contribute to future phylogenetic and taxonomic studies of genus Aegialites, family Salpingidae and superfamily Tenebrionoidea.
