Blog Article

Tarbinskiellus portentosus (Lichtenstein, 1796) is an agricultural and forestry pest, but people in some places use it as a delicacy.The complete mitogenome of T.portentosus Jeans (GenBank accession number MZ427921) is 15, 498 bp in size, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, two ribosomal RNAs genes, and a noncoding A + T-rich region.

The A + T-rich region is located between 12S rRNA and tRNAIle.The base composition of the whole T.portentosus mitogenome is 40.

62% for A, 9.87% for G, 32.20% for T, click here and 17.

31% for C, with a high AT content of 72.82%.The phylogeny analysis indicated that T.

portentosus had a close relationship with Cardiodactylus muiri.The present data could contribute to further detailed diversity and phylogeographic analysis for this edible cricket.
