The complete mitochondrial genome of Cosmoscarta dorsimacula

Abstract

In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Cosmoscarta dorsimacula (Hemiptera, Cicadomorpha, Cercopoidea, Cercopidae) was firstly determined. The complete genome is 15,462 bp in length. It contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and a control region (A + T-rich region). The gene organization, nucleotide composition, and codon usage are similar to other Cercopoidea mitogenomes. The overall nucleotide composition was 44.61% A, 34.01% T, 12.53% C, and 8.85% G, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis highly supported that C. dorsimacula showed a close relationship with C. bispecularis. The measure of complete mitogenome sequence of C. dorsimacula will provide fundamental data for the phylogenetic and biogeographic studies of the Cercopoidea and Hemiptera.
