Deskripsi

Necrodes littoralis (Linnaeus, 1758) (Coleoptera: Silphidae) is recognized as an important forensically beetle species. In this study, we report the mitogenome of N. littoralis. The total length of the mitogenome was 17,830bp (GenBank accession no. MW415274). Two ribosomal RNAs, 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs and a non-coding control region were identified. The base composition of N. littoralis was A (39.27%), G (9.49%), T (37.03%), and C (14.21%), respectively. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that N. littoralis is closely related to Diamesus osculans.
