Characterization of the leafhopper mitogenome of Mileewa alara (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Mileewinae) and its phylogenetic analysis

Abstract

The mitogenome data of leafhopper species Mileewa alara was assembled and annotated in this study. The results shows that length of M. alara is 16020 bp, consist of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and one control region. The A + T content in the mitogenome was 77.9%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 13 PCGs of four Mileewa species and other 29 Cicadellidae species, each subfamily species well separated. And M. alara clustered with M. ponta. This study also raised mitogenome of Mileewa number in GenBank to four.
