Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of the ambush bug, , was determined in this study. The sequenced mitogenome is a typical circular DNA molecule of 15,335 bp, containing 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes and a putative control region. All protein-coding genes initiate with ATN codons and terminate with TAA codons except for and use a single T residue as the stop codon. All tRNAs have the clover-leaf structure except for the and the length of them range from 61 to 71 bp. The control region is 797 bp long with an A + T content of 66.3%. The phylogenetic analysis result supports the monophyly of Phymatinae.
