The complete mitochondrial genome of <i>Chlaenius bimaculatus</i> Dejean, 1826 (Coleoptera: Carabidea) and its phylogenetic analyses

<i>Chlaenius bimaculatus</i> Dejean, 1826 (Coleoptera: Carabidea) is a predator of several lepidopteran pests, including <i>Spodoptera frugiperda</i>, <i>S. litura</i> and <i>Helcystogramma triannulella</i>. However, there has been little research into using <i>C. bimaculatus</i> to control crop pests. In this study, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of <i>C. bimaculatus</i>. The results showed that the entire mitochondrial genome was 16,419 bp and contained 24% GC. 13 protein-coding, 22 transfer RNA, and two ribosomal RNA genes were identified. <i>C. bimaculatus</i> shares the same genetic arrangement and composition as other Coleoptera insects. In addition, phylogenetic analysis revealed that <i>C. bimaculatus</i> is closely related to <i>Diplocheila zeelandica</i>.
