The complete mitochondrial genome of the assassin bug Sycanus croceovittatus (Hemiptera: Reduviidae).

The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of the assassin bug, Sycanus croceovittatus, was sequenced and analyzed in the present study. This mitogenome spans 15,644 bp in size with a high A + T content (71.7%), containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and a putative control region. All protein-coding genes are initiated by ATN codons expect ND1 use GTG as start codons and terminated with TAG or TAA, expect COX3 use a single T-- residue as the stop codon. All tRNAs have the typical clover-leaf like structures except for tRNASer(AGN) . A phylogenetic analysis of S. croceovittatus and 33 other assassin bugs is also presented using 13 protein-coding genes and 2 rRNA genes. The result supports the monophyly of Harpactorinae and the sister relationship between S. croceovittatus and Agriosphodrus dohrni. © 2020 The Author(s).
