Abstract:
Cletus rubidiventris is a crop pest, especially for rice. This study first reported the complete mitochondrial genome of this species. The total length of mitochondrial genome is 15,590 bp and including 13 PCGs, 22 tRNA genes, and 2 rRNA genes, with 31.8% T, 15.8% C, 41.6% A, and 10.8% G. The overall GC content of the genome is 27%. The mitochondrial genome order, nucleotide composition, and codon usage pattern is similar to C. punctiger. The phylogenetic tree shows that C. rubidiventris belong to the Coreidae.
