Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of the Chrysoperla sinica was sequenced in this study. It is 16,057 bp in length, and contains 22 transfer RNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 rRNA genes and 1 non-coding AT-rich region. But, C. sinica lack long tandem repeats. The Chrysoperla sinica mitogenome displays a very high level of similarity (99.27%) with Chrysoperla nipponensis. The genome base composition is 39.24% A, 39.70% T, 11.98% C, and 9.08% G. Similar to other insects, all PCGs are initiated by a typical ATN codon, except COX1, which starts with TCG. Nine PCGs have the standard, complete stop codon (TAA or TAG), and the other four PCGs end with the incomplete stop codon (TA or T).
