Abstract

Barklice in the genus Lepinotus (Psocoptera: Trogiidae) are small, soft-bodied stored-product pests that are difficult to control. We sequenced and annotated the mitochondrial (mt) genome of Lepinotus sp. The mt genome of Lepinotus sp. is 16,299 bp in size with 74.4% A + T content. The gene order was highly conserved in some of the Trogimorpha barklice. Two types of tandem repeat units were identified in CR of Lepinotus sp. The phylogenetic analysis showed that Trogiidae species was the sister group to Lepidopsocidae barklice, and the suborder Troctomorpha was polyphyletic.
