Abstract

This Dryad dataset contains mitochondrial genome–based data and derived analysis files for a phylogenetic framework of the Palaearctic genus Eurytoma (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae). The dataset includes 166 terminals (159 ingroup specimens and seven outgroups) spanning 13 of the 18 historically recognized Eurytoma species-groups. Contents comprise: (i) assembled mitochondrial genomes and annotations (sequence files and feature tables for protein-coding genes, rRNAs, and tRNAs); (ii) locus-wise and concatenated nucleotide alignments for 13 mitochondrial protein-coding genes plus rrnL/rrnS, including trimming/curation outputs and partition information; (iii) phylogenetic tree files from maximum-likelihood and Bayesian inference (e.g., Newick format with node-support values, where applicable); (iv) specimen-level metadata (taxon names, species-group assignments, voucher/locality fields, and—when available—links/accessions for underlying public reads); and (v) trophic-strategy character matrices used in ancestral-state reconstruction, provided under both binary (entomophagy vs. phytophagy) and multistate codings, with unknown states consistently treated as missing data. Sequence data are standard nucleotide characters (A/C/G/T with IUPAC ambiguity codes where needed); alignment gaps are coded as “-”. These files can be reused for taxonomic placement of newly sampled taxa, comparative mitogenomics, testing species-group diagnoses, and broader trait-evolution analyses in Chalcidoidea.
