Abstract
The complete 16,345-bp mitochondrial genome of the agriculturally destructive pod sucking pest, the
giant coreid bug, Anoplocnemis curvipes (Hemiptera: Coreidae), was assembled from paired-end Illumina
HiSeq 2500 reads. The A. curvipes mitochondrial genome consists of 13 protein coding genes (PCGs), 22
tRNAs, 2 rRNAs and a control region in the order and orientation typical among insects. PCG initiation
codons (ATG, ATC, ATT and ATA) with termination codon (TAA) are used with the exception of TAG
stop codons by Cytb and ND3. All tRNA genes fold into predicted cloverleaf secondary structures hav ing requisite triplets on the anticodon loop, apart from tRNA-Ser1 (AGN) whose dihydrouridine (DHU)
arm forms a simple loop. The phylogenetic analysis of hemipteran mitogenomes clusters to the family
level and supports the monophyly of the five superfamilies in Pentatomomorpha of Hemiptera. The
Coreoidea and Pyrrhocoroidea are sister groups, while Coreidae and Alydidae are sister groups to
Rhopalidae. These analyses provide insight to mitogenomics and evolutionary relationships among pen tatomoid insects.
