The complete mitochondrial genome of <i>Culex hutchinsoni</i> (Diptera: Culicidae) and its phylogenetic analysis

The complete mitochondrial genome of <i>Culex hutchinsoni</i> Barraud, 1924 was reported with 15,586 bp long. It contained 37 annotated genes and the control region, which is consistent with other mosquitoes. Most PCGs used typical ATN as start codons, while some special start codons were also used (i.e. TCG for <i>COX1</i>, TTG for <i>ND1</i>, GTG for <i>ND5</i>). Most PCGs terminated with TAA as well as some PCGs (<i>COX1, COX2, COX3, ND3, ND4</i> and <i>CYTB</i>) terminated with TA-tRNA or T-tRNA. Cx. (<i>Lophoceraomyia</i>) was recovered as the sister group to <i>Cx</i>. (<i>Culex</i>), while <i>Cx. hutchinsoni</i> was recovered within the species group of <i>Cx. pipiens</i>.
