Abstract
We sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of the Chinese Rhus gall aphid Meitanaphis microgallis (Hemiptera: Aphididae: Eriosomatinae: Fordini) by the genome skimming method on an Illunima platform. The assembled mitogenome is 16,191 bp in length with a very high A + T content of 84.3%. This genome consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs, and a control region. All the protein-coding genes have a typical ATN initiation codon and TAA termination codon except COX1 and ND4 with a single T as stop codon. The tRNAs ranged in size from 59 to 77 bp and formed a clover-leaf secondary structure except tRNA-Ser (AGN). We constructed the phylogenetic relationship of Fordini aphids including all the Rhus gall aphids, and the ML tree showed that M. microgallis grouped with M. elongallis as its sister group.
