Complete mitochondrial genome of Pseudachorutes palmiensis (Collembola: Neanuridae)

Abstract

We assembled one mitochondrial genome of Pseudachorutes palmiensis from Illumina sequencing data. The circularized mitochondrial assembly is 17,110 bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and two ribosomal RNA genes, which showed the typical insect mitochondrial gene composition, but had different order with most springtails. The overall base composition is 33.5% for A, 31.7% for T, 22.2% for C, and 12.5% for G. A phylogeny of 10 collembolans showed P. palmiensi was clustered within Neanuridae.
