The complete mitochondrial genome of the leafhopper Evacanthus acuminatus (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Evacanthinae)

Abstract

The complete mitogenome of Evacanthus acuminatus was described in this study. The circular molecule is 14,793 bp in length (GenBank accession no. MK948205), and contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and an A + T-rich region. The base composition values were A (40.0%), C (11.2%), G (10.0%), and T (38.8%), with an A + T bias (78.8%). ATT, ATG, ATA, TTG were initiation codons and TAA, TAG, T were termination codons. Phylogenetic tree based on concatenated amino acid sequences of 13 PCGs shows that E. acuminatu and Idiocerinae clade form sister groups, and all species of different subfamilies congregate with each other, which is consistent with the traditional taxonomy.
