The complete mitochondrial genome of Paracolopha morrisoni (Baker, 1919) (Hemiptera: Aphididae).

We have determined the mitochondrial genome of Paracolopha morrisoni (Baker, 1919), a gall-forming aphid collected from Korea. The circular mitogenome of Paracolopha morrisoni is 16,330 bp long including 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNAs, and a single large non-coding region of 932 bp. The base composition was AT-biased (84.9%). Gene order of P. morrisoni is identical to all other aphid mitochondrial genomes. Phylogenetic trees show that P. morrisoni is sister to Eriosoma lanigerum both belonging to tribe. The mitochondrial genome of P. morrisoni will be useful in understanding the genetic backgrounds of the species.
