Abstract:
The complete mitochondrial genome of Antestiopsis thunbergii was sequenced and was 15,391 bp long with a base composition of 43.03% A, 9.97% G, 13.04% C and 33.95% T. It contains 37 mitochondrial genes (13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and a control region). The genome structure, gene order, nucleotide composition, and codon usage of A. thunbergii were consistent with those of typical Pentatomidae insects. Phylogenetic analysis implied that A. thunbergii belonged to the family Pentatomidae, and each branch had a high Bayesian posterior probability value.
