摘要

The giant Asian mantis Hierodula formosana (Mantodea: Mantidae) is widely distributed in Taiwan. In the present study, we investigated the complete mitochondrial genome of H. formosana and the mitogenome is 16 266 by in length. The circular molecule consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and a non-coding control region, with an AT content of 75.8%. An extra non-coding region is inserted between trnM and ND2, similar to the other Mantidae species T. tamolana. A preliminary phylogenetic analysis has been carried out with 11 related species and the status of Hierodula formosana is further confirmed.
