The complete mitochondrial genome of Spathosternum prasiniferum sinense Uvarov, 1931 (Orthoptera: Acridoidea: Acrididae)

The complete mitogenome of Spathosternum prasiniferum sinense was sequenced and annotated in this work. It is 15,591 bp in size and contains 37 typical animal mitochondrial genes, meanwhile, A + T content is high as 74.1%. All protein-coding genes (PCGs) use standard ATN initiation codons. Twelve PCGs utilize complete termination codons TAG or TAA, except for DN5 gene uses an incomplete stop codon TA. tRNA genes were predicted with a characteristic cloverleaf secondary structure except trnS(AGN). The sizes of the lrRNA and srRNA genes are 1315 and 788 bp, respectively. The AT content of the A + T-rich region is 86.5%.
