Abstract
The complete mitochondrial genome of Paraoncidium reevesii was firstly determined in this paper. The mitogenome (13,842 bp) consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 1 putative control region (CR). CR is not well characterized due to lack of discrete conserved sequence blocks. This characteristic is similar with CRs of other invertebrate mitochondrial genomes.
