Abstract

The mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Amblythyreus gestroi is described in the present paper. The complete mitogenome is a 15,228 bp circular DNA molecule, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes and a control region. Genome organization, nucleotide composition and codon usage of the mitogenome are noted, secondary structures of all tRNAs are predicted. The monophyly of Phymatinae is highly supported by the phylogenetic tree. Phylogenetic implications of the A. gestroi mitogenome is briefly discussed.

Keywords: Amblythyreus gestroi; Mitochondrial genome; phymatinae; reduviidae.
