Abstract

In our study, we first report complete mitogenome for P. ruficollis and obtain basic genetic information. The genome of P. ruficollis is 17 009 bp which contained 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes and two control regions. Overall bases composition of the complete mitochondrial genome is 29.70%A, 14.47%G, 23.31% T, 32.52%C. Twelve PCGs and 14 tRNA genes are distributed on the H-strand, ND6 and eight tRNA genes are encoded on the L-strand.

Keywords: Mitochondrial genome; Pomatorhinus; Pomatorhinus ruficollis.
