We report the complete mitochondrial genome of the Cretan bush cricket Poecilimon cretensis. The mitogenome consists of 13 protein-coding regions, 22 tRNAs, two rRNAs, and one control region. The length of mitogenome in P. cretensis varies between15477 and 15631 bp, mainly due to variability in control region. The start and stop codons of protein coding genes exhibit the general pattern in Phaneropterinae. Phylogenetic tree constructed with the mitogenome obtained during this study and 12 mitogenomes of Phaneropterinae downloaded from GenBank, placed P. cretensis in Barbitistini as sister group to Poecilimon luschani. Data indicate that the gene overlapping pattern exhibit strong phylogenetic signals.
我们报道了克里特布什蟋蟀（Poecilimon cretensis）的完整线粒体基因组。该线粒体基因组由 13 个蛋白编码区、22 个 tRNA、2 个 rRNA 和 1 个控制区组成。P. cretensis 的线粒体基因组长度在 15477 到 15631bp 之间变化，主要是由于控制区的变异性。蛋白编码基因的起始和终止密码子表现出 Phaneropterinae 中的一般模式。基于本研究获得的线粒体基因组和从 GenBank 下载的 12 个 Phaneropterinae 线粒体基因组构建的系统发育树将 P. cretensis 置于 Barbitistini 中，作为 Poecilimon luschani 的姐妹群。数据表明，基因重叠模式表现出很强的系统发育信号。
