Received August 26, 1983. Revised October 24, 1983. Accepted November 11, 1983.

We have sequenced a lysine tRNA from mosquito mitochondria that has the anticodon CUU. The preponderance of AAA lysine codons in insect mitochondrial genes, the parsinonious organization of the genones, and the fact that this tRNA is a major component of the mosquito mitochondrial tRNA complement, lead us to suggest that the CUU anticodon recognizes AAC and AAA codons.
