The complete mitochondrial genome of <i>Epicauta sibirica</i> Pallas, 1773 (Coleoptera: Meloidae)
<i>Epicauta sibirica</i> is both an important pest and an important economic insect. The mitogenome is 15,717 bp in length and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and a control region. The nucleotide composition of <i>E. sibirica</i> is 37.0% of A, 18.3% of C, 11.3% of G, and 33.4% of T. The genus <i>Epicauta</i> was detected as a monophyletic group and more closely related to the genus <i>Lytta</i> than other genera within Meloidae. This study supplemented additional genetic data for future research on the phylogeny and evolution of Meloidae species.
