title: The complete mitochondrial genome of Dolycoris baccarum (Insecta: Hemiptera: Pentatomidae).
abstract: The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Dolycoris baccarum (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) has been sequenced and annotated in this study. This mitogenome is 16,549 bp in length with an A+T content of 73.4%, and contains the typical 37 genes that are arranged in the same order as that of the putative ancestor of hexapods. All protein-coding genes (PCGs) start with ATN codons except for cox1 that uses TTG as the initial codon. Eleven PCGs stop with termination codon TAA, and cox1 and cox2 have single T as the incomplete stop codon. All the transfer RNA genes have the typical clover leaf secondary structure, except for trnS1 (AGN) that lacks the dihydrouridine arm as known in many other metazoa. The control region is located between rrnS and trnI, and is composed of 479 bp of non-repeat region and 1401 bp of repeat region. This is the third completely sequenced mitogenome from the family Pentatomidae of Hemiptera.
