The complete mitochondrial genome of one band-winged grasshopper, Bryodema luctuosum luctuosum Stoll (Orthoptera: Acridoidea).

ABSTRACT

The complete mitochondrial genome of Bryodema luctuosum luctuosum, which was collected from the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau of China, is reported here. It is 15,946 bp in length and contains 74.9% AT. All B. luctuosum luctuosum protein-coding sequences start with a typical ATN codon. The usual termination codon (TAA) and incomplete stop codons (T and TA) were found from 13 protein-coding genes. All tRNA genes could be folded into the typical cloverleaf secondary structure, excluding trnS(AGN) which forms another structure. The sizes of the large and small ribosomal RNA genes are 1316 and 835 bp, respectively. The AT content of the A+T-rich region is 84.8%.
