Abstract
Cottony ash psyllid (CAP, Psyllopsis discrepans) is an important, invasive insect pest of ash trees in North America, where it has established populations and is the host of a newly identified strain of ‘ Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum’. However, not much is known about the diversity of its introduced population. In this study, a CAP mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequence was obtained from a collection in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. The CAP mitogenome is a circular DNA of 18,824
