Abstract:
The complete mitochondrial genome of Saldoida armata (Heteroptera: Saldidae) is 16,049 bp in length, comprising 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs) and a control region. All the PCGs are initially encoded by ATN, TTG or GTG, and terminated coding with TAA or a single T. With the exception of trnS(AGN), all tRNAs exhibit a typical cloverleaf secondary structure. Phylogenetic analysis reveals the sister relationship of S. armata with other Saldidae members. The complete mitogenome of S. armata will provide useful genetic information for species identification, phylogenetic analysis and conservation of this species.
