The complete mitochondrial genome of the leafhopper Idioscopus clypealis (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Idiocerinae).

We have sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of the leafhopper Idioscopus clypealis in Idiocerinae, the mitochondrial genome sequences to be 15,393 bp with an A + T content of 78.3%. The mitogenome includes 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and one non-coding [A + T]-rich region. These genes are in the same order as in the Idioscopus nitidulus. All protein-coding genes have ATN as the start codon, TAA and single T as the stop codon. The phylogenetic tree confirms that I. clypealis and I. nitidulus are clustered into a clade, and provides the relationships between the Megophthalminae, Deltocephalinae, Idiocerinae, Cicadellinae, and Typhloeybinae.
