The complete mitochondrial genome of Hemerobius simulans Walker (Neuroptera, Hemerobiidae)

The complete mitochondrial (mt) genome of Hemerobius simulans Walker (Neuroptera, Hemerobiidae) is reported in this work. The whole mt genome is 17,985?bp long and contains 37canonical genes and an A?+?T-rich region, which is the same with insect ancestral mt genome arrangement. All 13 PCGs used the typical ATN as initiation codons. The control region of H. simulans mt genome is 1,416?bp long and the base composition is 90.0% of A?+?T. The phylogenetic analysis revealed that Hemerobiidae was monophyletic and was the sister group to Chrysopidae.
