Abstract
The complete mitochondrial genome of Cyrtacanthacris tatarica was firstly sequenced and analyzed. The circular mitogenome was 15,679 bp long, showing a bias of AT rich on the majority strand (42.34% of A, 29.99% of T, 11.19% of G, and 16.18% of C). It consisted of the typical 37 genes (13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer tRNA genes) and one longest non-coding region (called as control region). All PCGs used standard ATN initiation codons, and most PCGs were terminated with complete codons (TAA/TAG), apart from cox1 and nad5. Phylogenetic analyses based on the concatenated nucleotide sequences of PCGs supported that Cyrtacanthacridinae was monophyletic, and the sister group relationship between C. tatarica and Schistocerca gregaria gregaria was determined. Our results may provide molecular information for the genetic evolution and taxonomy of the acridid species.
