Sequence and phylogenetic analysis of the mitochondrial genome for the groundhopper Mazarredia convexa (Orthoptera: Tetrigidae)

Abstract

Using next generation sequencing (NGS), we determined the mitochondrial genome of Mazarredia convexa. The assembled mitochondrial genome of M. convexa was found to be 15,089 bp, consisting of 37 genes (13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, and two rRNA genes). The region that we failed to sequence was between rrnS and trnI, and generally contained a putative AT-rich region. Its gene composition and order were similar to all reported tetrigid species. The overall nucleotide composition was 43.4% of A, 30.6% of T, 9.4% of G, and 16.6% of C. The data can help to better understand the phylogenetic status of M. convexa in Tetrigidae.
