Abstract

Abstract: The complete mitogenome of Argiope perforata (GenBank accession number MK512574) is 14, 032 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and an A + T-rich region. ATT, ATA, TTA, TTG were initiation codons and TAA, TAG, and T were termination codons. Ten tRNAs ( trnD, trnW, trnL2, trnE, trnF, trnR, trnH, trnP, trnT, and trnL1 ) lacked the TΨC arm stem, while three tRNAs ( trnA, trnS1, and trnS2 ) lost the dihydrouracil (DHU) arm. Phylogenetic tree based on 13 PCGs showed that A. perforata is closely related to Neoscona theisi, and clustered within Araneidae clade.
