Complete mitochondrial genome of Mukaria splendida Distant (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae: Mukariini) and phylogenetic analysis

The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Mukaria splendida Distant, 1908 (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae) was first reported in Mukariini. The length of this mitogenome is 16,711 bp, which has an A + T content of 79% (A = 44.5%, T = 34.5%, G = 8.8%, C = 12.2%). A total of 37 genes were annotated [13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNA), and 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNA)]. Among the 37 genes, 4 protein coding genes (ND1, ND4, ND4L, ND5), 8 tRNA genes (trnQ, trnC, trnY, trnF, trnH, trnP, trnL2, trnV), and 2 rRNA (12S rRNA, 16S rRNA) were encoded by N chain, and the remaining genes were encoded by J chain. Overall, there were 14 gene overlaps and 9 gene gaps in the mitochondrial genome of this species. All PCGs were started with ATD (ATA/ATT/ATG), and stopped with TAR, except ATP6, which ends with single T. The phylogenetic analysis confirms that M. splendida clustered with other Deltocephalinae species.
