Abstract
The stick tea thrips, Dendrothrips minowai Priesner (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), is a major pest of tea plantation and poses a considerable economic threat to tea industry. The mitochondrial genome of D. minowai have been sequenced and annotated completely. The entire genome is 14,631 bp in length with an A + T content of 78.53% (GenBank accession No. MF582634). The stick tea thrips mt genome encodes all 37 genes that are typically found in animal mt genomes, consists of 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNA genes. The gene order is unique and different from that of the other thrips. The A + T-rich region is 149 bp long and contains two poly-T stretchs. Phylogenetic analysis was performed using 13 protein-coding genes with six thrips showed that D. minowai and other five Thripidae species were clustered into a branch, which is formed a sister clade to H. aculeatus (family Phlaeothripidae).
