Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of Ergatettix serrifemora (Orthoptera: Tetrigidae) from China and its phylogenetic analysis

Abstract

The mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of the Ergatettix serrifemora (Orthoptera: Tetrigidae: Tetriginae) was sequenced and annotated. The assembled mitochondrial genome was 14,947 bp, containing 45.8% of A, 15.7% of C, 9.6% of G and 28.9% of T, respectively, which is the classical structure for insect mitogenome. The region that we failed to sequence was between rrnS and trnI, and generally contained a putative AT-rich region. Twelve PCGs started with typical ATN codon and eleven ended with complete stop codons (three with TAG, eight with TAA). The phylogenetic trees in the current study confirmed that E. serrifemora was clustered with other Tetriginae species, and this study would improve our understanding for the mitogenomes of Tetrigoidea.
