title: The complete mitochondrial genome of Hemiodoecus leai (Hemiptera: Coleorrhyncha: Peloridiidae).
abstract: The mitochondrial genome of Hemiodoecus leai (Hemiptera: Coleorrhyncha: Peloridiidae) was determined and annotated. The entire genome was 15,949 bp in length, containing 37 genes of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and an A + T-rich region. The genome has a gene arrangement identical to the inferred ancestral insects. Twelve of the 13 PCGs initiate with the standard start codons ATN, whereas CO1 starts with CGA. The tRNAs have be folded into typical cloverleaf secondary structures, except that the stem of the DHU arm was absent in tRNA(Ser(GCT)). The non-coding AT-rich region is 1414 bp long and is located between the rrnS and tRNA(lle) genes. The complete mitogenome sequence of H. leai could provide fundamental data for the phylogenetic and biogeographic studies of the Peloriidae as well as the Coleorrhyncha and Hemiptera.
