Complete mitochondrial genome of Abrus expansivus (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae) from China

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of the leafhopper species Abrus expansivus Xing and Li 2014 (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae) are sequenced and annotated. The mitochondrial genome is 15,904 bp, has an A + T content of 74.7% (A 40.9%; T 33.8% C 14.4%; G 10.9%), which is the classical structure for insect mitogenome. All PCGs started with ATN and stopped with TAN, except COX2 and ND5, ND5 started with TTG and COX2 stopped with single T. The phylogenetic tree confirms that A. expansivus and Norvellina sp are clustered into a clade. This study enriches the mitogenomes of the leafhopper subfamily Deltocephalinae.
