Complete mitochondrial genome of a leaf-mining beetle, Agonita chinensis Weise (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae).

ABSTRACT: The complete circular mitochondrial genome of Agonita chinensis was 16,395?bp in length, which contained two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNAs, 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs) and one non-coding AT-rich region with the length of 2001?bp. All of the 22 tRNA genes displayed a typical clover-leaf structure, with the exception of tRNA^Ser (TCT). Twelve PCGs were initiated by ATN codons, except that nad1 started with TTG. Only four PCGs used the typical stop codon 'TAA' and 'TGA', while nine PCGs terminated with incomplete stop codons (TA or T). Phylogenetic analysis based on 13 PCGs of Chrysomelidae mitogenomes showed that A. chinensis was closely related to Cassida viridis.
