Complete mitochondrial genome of the groundhopper Erianthus versicolor (Orthoptera: Caelifera: Eumastacoidea)

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of Erianthus versicolor was determined. It was 15,397 bp in length and contained 73.94% AT. The gene order of tRNA^Asp (D) and tRNA^Lys (K) is reversed to K-D order; a trnF-like and a trnS^UCN-like sequences are present almost in the same positions with trnF and trnS^UCN; the AT content of the A + T-rich region was low, only 59.97%.
