Abstract:
The complete mitochondrial genome of Leptomantella albella Burmeister (Mantodea: Iridopterygidae) is sequenced to analyze the gene arrangement. It is a circular molecule of 15,534 bp in length including 37 genes typically found in other insects. Gene arrangement is similar to Tamolanica tamolana (Insecta: Mantodea) and comprises 13 protein coding genes, two rRNA genes (12S and 16S rRNA) and 22 tRNA genes. The AT content of the overall base composition is 73.7%. The length of control region is 684 bp with 81.9% AT content. Protein-coding genes begin with ATG as start codon except ND3, ND5, ND6, ATP8 and ATP6 with ATA. COI, COII, ND5, ND4L and ND1 end with TAG as stop codon, while COIII, ND2, ND3, ND4, ND6, ATP8, ATP6 and Cyt b end with TAA.

LBCs are made up of two pairs of conjugating homologous chromatids. Each chromatid consists of alternatively positioned regions of condensed-inactive chromatin and loosely placed-active side loops, which can be contracted and extended. The loops...
