Abstract
The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of the assassin bug, Reduvius gregoryi, was determined. The sequenced mitogenome is a typical circular DNA molecule of 16,477 bp, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes and a putative control region. Protein-coding genes all initiate with ATN codons and terminate with TAA codons except for ATP6, COI, COIII, ND4, and ND5 use a single T residue as the termination codon. All tRNAs have the clover-leaf structure except for the tRNASer(AGN) and the length of them range from 61 to 70 bp. The control region is 1731 bp long with an A + T content of 72.3%. Our phylogenetic analysis supported the polyphyly of Reduviinae and the sister relationship between Reduvius gregoryi and Reduvius tenebrosus.
