title: Complete mitochondrial genome of a parthenogenetic subterranean termite, Reticulitermes aculabialis Tsai et Hwang (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae).
abstract: The complete mitochondrial genome of a parthenogenetic termite Reticulitermes aculabialis was assembled and analyzed. The mitogenome is 16,475 bp long and contains the same gene repertoire and gene order as other Reticulitermes species (13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and control region). Coding genes (PCGs, tRNAs and rRNAs) are 14,688 bp in length, occupying 89.15% of the total genomic size. The A + T content of the mitogenome is 65.78%.
