The complete mitochondrial genome of the jumping plant bug Halticus minutus Reuter, 1885 (Hemiptera: Miridae)

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of Halticus minutus was sequenced and analyzed in this study. The mitochondrial genome is 15,403 bp in size and comprises 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and one control region (D-loop). The nucleotide composition of the mitogenome is 41.81% A, 32.50% T, 10.43% G, and 15.26% C. Despite only a few references available on the complete mitochondrial genome of Miridae, phylogenetic analysis suggested that H. minutus is most closely related to Nesidiocoris tenuis.
