Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of the black citrus aphid from Sichuan Province of China, Aphis aurantii, was sequenced and analyzed. The mitochondrial genome was a double strand, circular molecule with 15,296 bp and an A + T content of 83.5%, comprising 13 PCGs, 22 tRNA genes, and two rRNA genes. Gene arrangement was conserved in the mitogenome of A. aurantii. A 631-bp long control region was found, with a high A + T content of 82.6%. All PCGs used standard ATN start codons and most PCGs ended with complete TAA stop codons. The phylogenetic analysis supported that A. aurantii was closely related to other five congeners of the genus Aphis.
