The complete mitochondrial genome of Ornithomya biloba (Diptera, Hippoboscidae)

The mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Ornithomya biloba (Dufour 1827) was first sequenced and annotated in this study as the first representative of the genus Ornithomya. The complete mitogenome is 18,654 bp in length and contains 37 genes (13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and control region). The phylogenetic analysis based on 13 PCGs in IQ-TREE supports the monophyly of Hippoboscidae, which was a sister group of Streblidae. Families Hippoboscidae and Streblidae formed the monophyletic Hippoboscoidea clade.
