The complete mitochondrial genome of Eclipophleps carinata (Orthoptera: Acridoidea: Gomphoceridae).

The complete Eclipophleps carinata mitogenome was sequenced through Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform and the resulting data were analyzed in this paper. The mitochondrial genome of E. carinata is a typical circular DNA molecule of 15,781 bp with 37 genes and 74.5% A + T content, which encoded 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and the control region. The E. carinata mitochondrial genome and 27 mitochondrial genomes (downloaded from NCBI) were employed to construct phylogenetic tree, in which Ruspolia dubia and Teleogryllus occipitails were the outgroups. Phylogenetic reconstruction validated the taxonomic status of E. carinata, which was placed in the monophyletic Gomphocerinae in Acrididae.
