The complete mitochondrial genome of Humphaplotropis culaishanensis sp. nov. (Orthoptera: Acridoidea: Pamphagidae: Pamphaginae)

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of Humphaplotropis culaishanensis sp. nov., which was collected from the Shandong Province of China, is reported here. It was 15,659 bp in length and contained 72.3% AT. All Humphaplotropis culaishanensis protein-coding sequences started with a typical ATN codon, excluding cox1 and nad6. The usual termination codon (TAN) and incomplete stop codons (T, TA) were found from 13 protein-coding genes. All tRNA genes could be folded into the typical cloverleaf secondary structure, excluding trnS(AGN) which forms another structure. The sizes of the large and small ribosomal RNA genes were 1322 and 852 bp, respectively. The AT content of the A+T-rich region was 81.3%.
