title: The complete mitochondrial genome of the wasp spider Argiope bruennichi (Araneae: Araneidae).
abstract: The complete mitochondrial genome of Argiope bruennichi is a circular molecule of 14,063 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs, 21 transfer RNAs, and a control region. The A + T content of the overall base composition of H-strand is 73.4% (T: 38.0%; C: 9.8%; A: 35.4%; G: 16.8%). ND6 begins with ATG, ND4 and ATP6 begin with ATA, ND5 and COI begin with TTA, ND1, COII and COIII begin with TTG, and other five protein-coding genes begin with TTG as start codon. ND5, ND4L, ND6, COI, COII, COIII, ATP6 and ATP8 genes are terminated with TAA as stop codon, Cyt b, ND1 and ND2 end with TAG, and other two protein-coding genes end with T.
