Popis: The mitogenome of Dendroctonus rufipennis is a circular molecule of 16,547 bp which consists of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and a control region (GenBank accession no. NC_063906). All of 13 PCGs initiate with the standard start codon of ATN. Most PCGs used the typical stop codon ‘TAA’ or ‘TAG’, only nad5 terminated with incomplete stop codon (TA). Phylogenetic analyses within the Scolytinae were performed based on nucleotide sequences of mitochondrial PCGs. The topology showed that D. rufipennis, D. valens, and Tomicus piniperda formed a clade, and also clustered together with Hylastes opacus, H. attenuatus, H. brunneus, and H. ater. This indicated that there is a close genetic relationship between these species.
