TLDR
Phylogenetic analysis using 13 PCGs from 38 Staphyliniform beetle species revealed that N. nepalensis was clustered in Silphidae, which together with Staphlyinidae formed one monophyletic clade within Staphyllinoidea.
Abstract
Abstract The complete mitochondrial genome of burying beetle Nicrophorus nepalensis Hope, 1831 was reported in this study. It was 17,299 bps in length and included 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and a 2693 bp A + T-rich control region. Phylogenetic analysis using 13 PCGs from 38 Staphyliniform beetle species revealed that N. nepalensis was clustered in Silphidae, which together with Staphylinidae formed one monophyletic clade within Staphylinoidea.
