Fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) are globally distributed picture-winged flies of variable size. Tephritidae, with > 4000 species described, ranks among the most diverse groups of true flies (White & Elson-Harris, 1992; Thompson, 1999). They are almost all phytophagous, with larvae developing in the seedbearing organs of plants. Although they are commonly named ‘fruit flies’, larval developme...

The genus Dacus is one of the most economically important tephritid fruit flies. The first complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Dacus species - D. longicornis was sequenced by next-generation sequencing in order to develop the mitogenome data for this genus. The circular 16,253 bp mitogenome is the typical set and arrangement of 37 genes present in the ancestral insect. The mitogenome ...
