Abstract
The Hycleus cichorii and Hycleus phaleratus are two species of medicinal meloids widely distributed in southwest of China. We sequenced an annotated the complete mitochondrial genomes of H. cichorii and H. phaleratus, and the mitogenomes are 15,847 and 16,004 bp in length, respectively. Every mitochondrial genome encodes 13 proteins, 2 ribosomal RNAs, 22 tRNAs, and a control region with the identical arrangement to other beetles. The preliminary phylogenetic analysis with mitochondrial genomes of nine meloid species further confirmed the status of these two species.Keywords
