Characteristics of the complete mitochondrial genome ofSuhpalacsa longialata(Neuroptera, Ascalaphidae) and its phylogenetic implications

The owlflies (Family Ascalaphidae) belong to the Neuroptera but are often mistaken as dragonflies because of morphological characters. To date, only three mitochondrial genomes of Ascalaphidae, namely Libelloides macaronius ; Ascaloptynx appendiculatus ; Ascalohybris subjacens , are published in GenBank, meaning that they are greatly under-represented in comparison with the 430 described species reported in this family. In this study, we...
