(Orthoptera: Caelifera: Acrididae) is an important agricultural pest to bamboo, rice and other gramineous crops. The complete mitochondrial genome of is 15,625 bp in length and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and 1 A + T-rich region. The gene order of the mitogenome is identical with most orthopteran insects. Most protein-coding genes start with typical ATN codon except for , which initiates with ACC codon instead. While all PCGs use complete stop codons (TAA and TAG). In addition, 13 related species and 2 outgroup taxa were used to construct the phylogenetic tree to further validate the mitogenome of . The result showed that is sister group to a clade of and .
(直翅目:蝗亚目:蝗科)是竹子、水稻和其他禾本科作物的重要农业害虫。其线粒体基因组全长15625 bp,由13个蛋白质编码基因、22个tRNA基因、2个rRNA基因和1个富含A+T的区域组成。线粒体基因组的基因排列与大多数直翅目昆虫相同。除了以ACC密码子起始外,大多数蛋白质编码基因以典型的ATN密码子起始。而所有的蛋白质编码基因都使用完整的终止密码子(TAA和TAG)。此外,使用13个相关物种和2个外类群构建系统发育树,以进一步验证其线粒体基因组。结果表明,它是某一进化枝的姐妹群。
