# Complete mitochondrial genome of Stonychophora maculata (Orthoptera: Rhaphidophoridae: Rhaphidophorinae)

## TL;DR

This paper reports the full mitochondrial genome of the Malaysian grasshopper Stonychophora maculata, which is rich in AT nucleotides and contains all expected mitochondrial genes.

## Contribution

The study provides the first complete mitochondrial genome sequence for Stonychophora maculata, contributing to orthopteran genomics.

## Key findings

- The mitochondrial genome is 15,956 bp long and has a high AT content of 74%.
- It includes 37 genes: 13 protein-coding, 2 rRNA, 22 tRNA, and a control region.
- The genome is circular and follows typical mitochondrial gene organization.

## Abstract

We present the complete mitochondrial genome of Stonychophora maculata from Malaysia, which is a circular DNA molecule with a total length of 15,956 bp and is AT-rich (74%). It contains 37 mitochondrial genes, including 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and a control region.
