The complete mitogenome of the trilobite beetle, Platerodrilus sp. (Elateroidea: Lycidae)

The nucleotide sequence of the complete mitogenome of the trilobite beetle, Platerodrilus sp. was determined. This is the first complete mitogenome reported for the family Lycidae (Elateroidea: Coleoptera). The newly determined sequence is 16,394 bp long and shows a relatively high AT content (76.2%). The gene arrangement of the trilobite beetle mt genome is the same found in other related beetle mitogenomes. The reconstructed tree recovered Elateroidea as a strongly supported monophyletic group but could not resolve phylogenetic relationships among studied elateroid families, including Lycidae.Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation, 10.13039/501100004837 [CGL2013-45211-C2-2-P], [BES-2011-051469,CGL2013-45211-C2-2-P] and [CGL2015-66571-P MINECO/FEDER].Peer reviewe
