Abstract
The complete mitochondrial genome of a two-spotted cricket Gryllus bimaculatus (Orthoptera: Gryllidae) from South Korea is determined and characterized in this study. The circular genome is 16,075 bp long, which consists of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and an A + T−rich region. It has a base composition of A (40.35%), G (9.09%), C (16.80%), and T (33.76%). The gene order is identical to the ancestral gene arrangement pattern generally shown in arthropods, with the exception of an inversion of trnN-trnS1-trnE into trnE-trnS1-trnN. The maximum likelihood (ML) tree supports that G. bimaculatus is a distinct member of the monophyletic family Gryllidae.
