The mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic position of a conehead katydid Euconocephalus pallidus (Insecta: Orthoptera).

ABSTRACT: The complete mitochondrial genome of a conehead katydid Euconocephalus pallidus was determined. The mitochondrial genome is 15,888 bp in size with an A + T content of 71.67%. It contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and a control region. The order and orientation of these genes conform to the ancestral form of insects. Phylogenetic analysis supports a close relationship between E. pallidus and E. nasutus.
