The complete mitochondrial genome of a ground beetle, <i>Chlaenius naeviger</i> (Carabidae: Harpalinae: Chlaeniini), from South Korea

<i>Chlaenius naeviger</i> Morawitz, 1862 is a ground beetle species with a potential as a biological control agent for agricultural pests. In this study, we sequenced and annotated the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of <i>C. naeviger</i>, which is 16,594 bp in length and comprises 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and an A + T rich region. Furthermore, we used the nucleotide sequences of 13 PCGs to reconstruct a maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree of the family Carabidae, which revealed a close relationship between Chlaeniini and Panagaeini (BP 100). Our findings shed light on the phylogenetic relationships among the harpaline tribes.
