The complete mitochondrial genome of Schoutedenia ralumensis Rübsaamen, 1905 (Hemiptera: Aphididae: Greenideinae)

Abstract

We sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of Schoutedenia ralumensis. The mitogenome is 16,051 bp long with an A + T content of 84.5%, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, a control region, and an aphid-specific repeat region located between trnE and trnF. All protein-coding genes are initiated by ATN and terminated with TAA or TAG except for cox1 and nad5. All transfer RNAs display the typical clover-leaf secondary structure except for trnS (AGN). The unique repeat region is 974 bp long, in which a 305-bp repeat unit repeats 3.19 times. The phylogenetic tree supports a sister relationship of S. ralumensis and Greenidea psidii.
