title: The complete mitochondrial genome of Cryptolestes turcicus (Grouvelle) (Coleoptera:Laemophloeidae).
abstract: We presented the complete mitogenome of Cryptolestes turcicus (GenBank accession number KT070712) in this study. The total length of mitochondrial DNA is 15 517 bp and contains 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and a control region. The overall base composition of the genome is A (39.48%), T (37.38%), C (13.97%), and G (9.16%) with an A + T-rich hallmark. The start codon was ATN in all the mitochondrial protein-coding genes, such as ND2, COI, ATP6, ND5, ND4L and ND1 start with ATA, COII, ATP8, ND3, and ND6 genes employing ATT, while the rest using ATG as a start codon. The stop codon was mainly TAA or TAG in most of the mitochondrial protein-coding genes, wherever T(A) was found in COII, COIII, ND4, and ND4L genes. The A + T-rich region is located between 12S rRNA and tRNA(Ile) with a length of 857 bp.
