The mitogenome of the scale insect <i>Didesmococcus koreanus</i> Borchsenius, 1955 (Coccoidea: Coccidae)

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of <i>Didesmococcus koreanus</i> is described in this study. The complete mitogenome is a 15,162 bp circular DNA molecule with a high A + T content of 82.5%, containing the typical 37 genes. A novel gene rearrangement is detected in the mitogenome. The phylogenetic result supports the monophyly of Coccoidea and the closer relationship between the Ceroplastinae and Coccinae.
