Abstract
Fruhstorferiola tonkinensis belongs to the group of Catantopidae, which is the largest group in Acridoidae. The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Fruhstorferiola tonkinensis is 15,637 bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes and 1 A + T-rich region. The gene order and arrangement are identical to other Acridoidae species. Most PCGs (except for the ATP6) start with the typical ATN codons, while most stop codons are TAA, TAG. The combined dataset of 13 PCGs and 2 rRNAs from 17 grasshoppers (including 15 Catantopidae species and 2 outgroups) is used to construct phylogenetic tree and analyse phylogenetic relationship of Catantopidae.
Highlights
Fruhstorferiola tonkinensis belongs to the group of Catantopidae, which is the largest group in Acridoidae
The specimens of the Fruhstorferiola tonkinensis were collected by clap net in Xingan, Guangxi province, China in June 2005
All 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs) of the mitogenome are recognized by Spin program in Staden Package combined with other Orthopterans species (Staden et al 1998)
Summary
Fruhstorferiola tonkinensis belongs to the group of Catantopidae, which is the largest group in Acridoidae. Animal mitogenome is a circular, double-strand molecule of 15–20 kb in size (Ye et al 2012). It generally includes 37 genes, 13 PCGs, 22 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs. It contains a non-coding region (A þ T-rich region) in the insect.
