Abstract

Phymateus saxosus is a member of the family Pyrgomorphidae, Orthoptera. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of P. saxosus was determined and analyzed. Assembled mitogenome sequence of P. saxosus is 15,672 bp in size, containing 37 genes and a control region. The gene orientation and arrangement of P. saxosus are identical to other species in the Pyrgomorphoidea family. The overall nucleotide composition is as follows: A (43.6%) > T (30.2%) > C (16.1%) > G (10.1%). Phylogenetic analysis suggested that P. saxosus forms sister groups with P. morbillosus, and the monophyly of Pyrgomorphidae is supported. In general, this study provided valuable genetic information for P. saxosus and explored the phylogenetic relationships in the family Pyrgomorphidae.
