Complete mitochondrial genome of Paralaevicephalus gracilipenis (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae) from China

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of the leafhopper species Paralaevicephalus gracilipenis (Dai et al. 2005) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae) are sequenced and annotated. The mitochondrial genome is 16,114 bp, and nucleotide composition of the whole mitogenome is highly A + T biased (A: 42.0%; T: 33.4%, G: 10.3%, C: 14.3). All PCGs started with ATN and stopped with TAN, except COX2, which started with TTG and stopped with single T. The phylogenetic tree confirms that P. gracilipenis and Yanocephalus yanonis are clustered into a clade. This study enriches the mitogenomes of the leafhopper subfamily Deltocephalinae.
