Reports mitochondrial genome sequence in grasshoppers, suggesting evolutionary insights.
This study reports the complete mitochondrial genome (15,610 bp) of Stauroderus scalaris, a grasshopper species from Xinjiang, China, which comprises 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and a control region. Phylogenetic analysis confirms its close evolutionary relationship with the genera Gomphocerus and Gomphocerippus, supporting its placement within the tribe Gomphocerini. These findings enrich the available mitochondrial genome resources for grasshoppers and provide valuable molecular data for subsequent research on the phylogeny and evolutionary history of the subfamily Gomphocerinae.
