Dermestid beetles (Coleoptera: Bostrichiformia: Dermestidae) are important pests of various whelen arges spotlight storage products and pose a potential threat to international trade.In this study, the whole mitogenome of Anthrenus museorum was first sequenced and annotated and was found to have the same gene order observed in known dermestid beetles.It comprised 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNAs, 2 ribosomal RNAs and a control region.

The typical ATN start codon was observed in all PCGs, except for ND3 (TTG), and all 13 PCGs showed three types of stop codons (TAA, TAG, and T-).Phylogenetic analysis based on the PCGs indicated that the relationships within Bostrichiformia were reconstructed, with the exception of one early emerging species of Bostrichidae that actually click here makes the group polyphyletic, as (Dermestidae + (Bostrichidae + Anobiidae)).Moreover, it revealed a close relationship between A.

museorum and A.verbasci using maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference analysis.
