AbstractDermestid beetles (Coleoptera: Bostrichiformia: Dermestidae) are important pests of various storage products and pose a potential threat to international trade. In this study, the whole mitogenome ofAnthrenus museorumwas 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 forND3(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 makes the group polyphyletic, as (Dermestidae + (Bostrichidae + Anobiidae)). Moreover, it revealed a close relationship betweenA. museorumandA. verbasciusing maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference analysis.
