Insect mitochondrial genome is a double-stranded circular genomes which range from 14 503 bp to 19 571 bp in size.Nearly all the sequenced insect mitochondrial genomes encode 37 genes:two for rRNAs,13 for proteins and 22 for tRNAs.This review compares and summarizes the features of complete mitochondrial genomes from 175 sequenced species of insects in 22 orders.The genomic organization, contents,gene order,and rearrangements of gene order are analyzed.
A list of Heteroptera collected from Arasbaran Biosphere Reserve(East Azarbayjan Province,northwestern Iran) and neighboring areas is provided. A total of 114 species from 87 genera and 19 families were collected from Arasbaran and vicinity. Two species are new records for Iran: Gerris(Gerris) maculatus Tamanini and Sigara(Vermicorixa) lateralis(Leach).
