Tarbinskiellus portentosus (Lichtenstein, 1796) is an agricultural and forestry pest, but people in some places use it as a delicacy.The complete mitogenome of T.portentosus (GenBank accession number MZ427921) is 15, 498 bp in size, including 13 emtek 2113 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, two ribosomal RNAs genes, and a noncoding A + T-rich region.The A + T-rich region is located between 12S rRNA and tRNAIle.
The base composition of the whole T.portentosus mitogenome is 40.62% for A, 9.87% for G, 32.
20% for T, and 17.31% for C, with a high AT content of 72.82%.The phylogeny analysis indicated here that T.
portentosus had a close relationship with Cardiodactylus muiri.The present data could contribute to further detailed diversity and phylogeographic analysis for this edible cricket.
