Abstract
In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of the assassin bug Inara alboguttata, is determined using next-generation sequencing. The mitogenome is a typical circular DNA molecule of 15,436 bp long with a high AT bias (72.3%), containing 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes and a control region. Protein-coding genes all initiate with ATN codons and most of them terminate with TAA or TAG codons, whereas COI, ND3, and ND5 use a single T residue. The lrRNA and srRNA genes are 1247 bp and 766 bp in length, respectively. All tRNA genes have the cloverleaf secondary structure except for the tRNASer(AGN). The control region is 860 bp long with an A + T content of 68.2%. Phylogenetic result supports the sister relationship between I. alboguttata and Acanthaspis ruficeps.
