Complete mitochondrial genome of the groundhopper Alulatettix yunnanensis (Insecta: Orthoptera: Tetrigoidea)

Abstract

In this work, we sequenced the first complete mitochondrial genome of Tetrigoidea species, Alulatettix yunnanensis. The circle genome (15,104 bp) consists of 13 protein-coding, 22 transfer RNA, and 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and an A+T-rich region. It has the typical invertebrate mitochondrial gene arrangement.
