Abstract

In the present study, we report the first complete mitochondrial DNA genome of the genus Callipogon based on C. relictus, a natural monument and endangered species in South Korea. The mitogenome is 15,742 base pairs with 13 protein coding genes (PCGs), two rRNAs, 22 tRNAs, and a 1033 bp long AT-rich region. The overall base composition was 67.3% AT and 32.7 GC. Among 13 PCGs, seven genes (Nad2, Atp8, Atp6, Nad4L, Nad6, Cob, Nad1) harbour the typical stop codon TAA or TAG, whereas remaining five genes terminate with T. Interestingly, Cox3 employs AGA as the termination codon.
