Abstract
The complete mitochondrial genome of the predatory bug Orius sauteri (Poppius) (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae) was sequenced and analyzed (GenBank accession No. KJ671626). The length of this mitochondrial genome is 16,246 bp with 37 typical animal mitochondrial genes; i.e., 13 protein-coding, 2 rRNA and 22 tRNA genes, and an A+T-rich region. The gene arrangement is identical to that of the pupative ancestral arrangement of insects. All protein-coding genes start with ATN start codon, i.e. five ATAs, four ATTs, three ATGs and one ATC. Ten protein-coding genes stop with termination codon TAA. Three protein-coding genes use incomplete stop codon TA. The A+T-rich region are located between rrnS and trnM with a length of 1758 bp and an A+T content of 73.49%.
