title: The complete mitochondrial genome of Phlaeoba tenebrosa (Orthoptera: Acridoidea: Acrididae).
abstract: The complete mitochondrial genome of Phlaeoba tenebrosa was sequenced. Its 15,648 bp nucleotides encode 37 typical mitochondrial genes and contain 73.8% AT. All 13 mitochondrial protein coding genes (PCGs) share the start codon ATN, except for cox1 (CCG start codon). The usual termination codons (TAA or TAG) and incomplete stop codons (T or TA) are found from 13 protein-coding genes. The most frequent amino acids in the PCGs are Leucine (14.02%), Serine (9.64%), Phenylalanine (9.13%), Isoleucine (10.44%), and the total content of these amino acids was 43.23%. All tRNA genes could be folded into the typical cloverleaf secondary structure, except trnS(AGN) lacking of the dihydrouridine arm. The sizes of the large and small rRNA genes are 1319 bp and 841 bp, respectively. The AT content of the A + T-rich region is 82.6%.
