Abstract

Here, we sequenced and annotated the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Nysius fuscovittatus (Hemiptera: Lygaeidae). This mitogenome was 14575 bp long, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), 2 ribosomal RNA unit genes (rrnL and rrnS), and a putative control region. All genes were arranged in the same order as that of most true bugs. Eleven PCGs started with a typical ATN, and the remaining two PCGs started with TTA (nad4L) and TTG (cox1). The N. fuscovittatus mitogenome with an A + T content of 76.42% showed a positive AT-skew (0.15) and a negative GC-skew (-0.15). With the exception of trnS1 that lacked the dihydrouridine arm, all tRNAs had a typical cloverleaf secondary structure. Phylogenetic analysis based on the concatenated nucleotide sequences of the 13 PCGs showed that N. fuscovittatus clustered with other three Lygaeidae species.
