Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic analysis of <i>Coelophora saucia</i> (Mulsant, 1850) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)

<i>Coelophora saucia</i> is an important natural enemy insect in agricultural production. We determined the complete mitochondrial genome of the <i>C. saucia</i> by high-throughput sequencing, and the mitogenome was 18,068 bp in length, with a GC content of 20.9%, encodes 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transporter RNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes and with a non-coding control region. A phylogenetic tree was constructed using the maximum likelihood (ML) method, and the results indicated that the <i>C. saucia</i> was most closely related to <i>Propylea japonica</i> and <i>Propylea quattuordecimpunctata.</i>
