The complete mitochondrial genome of the Hybris subjacens (Neuroptera:Ascalaphidae)

Abstract

The mitochondrial genome of Hybris subjacens (Neuroptera: Ascalaphidae) is a circular molecule of 15,873 bp in length, containing 37 typical animal mitochondrial genes: 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs and a non-coding AT-rich region. Its gene order and arrangement are identical to the common type found in most insect mitogenomes. All PCGs start with a typical ATN codon except for COI and ND1 which use CTT and TTG as their start codon, respectively; all PCGs terminate in the common stop codon TAA or TAG, except for the COI and ND5 which use single T as their stop codons. The non-coding AT-rich region is 1051 bp long, located between rrnS and tRNA^lle genes. It contains some structures of repeated motifs and microsatellite-like elements characteristic of the neuropterids.
