Abstract
In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of the leafhopper species Empoascanara dwalata (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Typhlocybinae) was sequenced and annotated, and the sequence is available in the GenBank with accession number: MT350235. The circular mitogenome with 15,271 bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and one AT-rich region. The nucleotide composition is as follows: A (41.7%), T (34.7%), G (10.6%), and C (13.0%). 11 PCGs have ATN as the start codon, except for atp8 and nad5 genes have TTG. The conventional termination codons (TAA or TAG) occur in 11 PCGs, while cox2 and nad5 use incomplete codon (T––) as termination codon. Phylogenetic analysis using 13 PCGs showed that E. dwalata was clustered with three other Typhlocybine species, which was consistent with the conventional classification.
