The complete mitogenome of rove beetle Megalinus hunanensis Bordoni, 2013 was determined in this study.It was 17,314 bp in length, and comprised of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and a 2511 bp A + T-rich control region.Most PCGs used the typical ATN start codon, except for nad1.Five genes (cox1, cox2, cox3, nad4, 5326058hx and nad5) used a single T residue as stop codon rather than the commonly used TAA or TAG.All tRNAs could be folded into the cloverleaf secondary structure.

Bayesian inference phylogenetic trees built on 5 97 color touch 13 PCGs and their translated amino acid sequences from 29 rove beetle taxa showed that Staphylininae was paraphyletic with respect to Paederinae; M.hunanensis was a member of the tribe Xantholinini.
