Abstract

<abstract> <title>Abstract</title> <p>The mitochondrial genome of <italic>Hybris subjacens</italic> (Neuroptera: Ascalaphidae) is a circular molecule of 15, 873 bp in length, containing 37 typical animal mitochondrial genes: 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs and a non-coding AT-rich region. Its gene order and arrangement are identical to the common type found in most insect mitogenomes. All PCGs start with a typical ATN codon except for<italic> COI </italic>and <italic>ND1</italic> which use CTT and TTG as their start codon, respectively; all PCGs terminate in the common stop codon TAA or TAG, except for the <italic>COI </italic>and<italic> ND5</italic> which use single T as their stop codons. The non-coding AT-rich region is 1051 bp long, located between rrnS and tRNA^lle genes. It contains some structures of repeated motifs and microsatellite-like elements characteristic of the neuropterids.</p> </abstract>
