title: The complete mitochondrial genome of the Xenocatantops brachycerus (Orthoptera: Catantopidae).
abstract: Xenocatantops brachycerus (Orthoptera: Catantopidae), which is widely distributed through China and Southeast Asia, is harmful for the crops. The complete mitochondrial genome of X. brachycerus is 15 605 bp in length and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and 1 A + T-rich region. The gene order of the mitogenome is identical with most orthopteran insects. Most protein-coding genes start with typical ATN codon except for cox1, which initiates with ACC codon instead. While all PCGs use complete stop codons (TAA and TAG). In addition, 13 related species and 2 outgroup taxa were used to construct the phylogenetic tree to further validate the mitogenome of X. brachycerus and research the phylogenetic relationships of Catantopidae.
