Abstract

Abstract: Rhynocoris fuscipes (Fabricius 1787) is an important predator in China. In current study, the complete mitochondrial genome of R. fuscipes is determined. The mitogenome is 15, 542 bp in size and comprises of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and a control region. Gene arrangement is identical to that of the putative ancestral arrangement of insects. All protein-coding genes initiate with ATN codons and terminate with TAA codons except for COII, ND4, and ND5 use TA or a single T residue as the termination codons. All tRNAs have the clover-leaf structure except for the tRNA Ser(AGN) and the length of them range from 62 to 70 bp. The phylogenetic result supports the monophyly of Harpactorinae and the sister relationship between R. fuscipes and Rhynocoris incertis .
