Abstract

Abstract: The stonefly Microperla geei is the fourth sequenced peltoperlid and the first entire mitochondrial genome of M. geei representing the subfamily Microperlinae. The nearly complete mitogenome of M geei is 15, 216 bp in size, has 37 genes and one partial control region, which is the classical structure for insect mitogenome. All PCGs started with ATN, except ND1 and ND5 genes used TTG and GTG. Eleven PCGs used the termination codon TAA or TAG and the COII and ND5 genes stopped with a single T. Our phylogenetic topology tree supported Peltoperlidae was monophyletic and M. geei was a sister-group to the clade ( Soliperla sp. + ( Cryptoperla stilifera + Peltoperlopsis cebuano )). This study could provide new information for the further phylogenetic studies.
