Abstract:
The complete mitochondrial genome of Argiope ocula (GenBank accession number MN331657) is a circular molecule of 14,079 bp in length, comprising of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), two ribosomal RNA genes, and a control region. Ten intergenic spacer regions and 19 reading frame overlaps were found in the mitogenome of A. ocula. Ten tRNAs (trnD, trnF, trnK, trnR, trnT, trnW, trnE, trnG, trnL , and trnM) lacked the TΨC arm stem, whereas three tRNAs (trnA, trnS , and trnS ) lost the dihydrouracil (DHU) arm. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that A. ocula had the closest evolutionary relationship with A. perforata.
