The complete mitochondrial genome of the black cutworm Agrotis ipsilon (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) was determined (GenBank accession No. KF163965). The length of this mitochondrial genome is 15,377 bp with an A + T content of 82.5%. There are 37 typical animal mitochondrial genes, that is, 13 protein-coding, 2 rRNA and 22 tRNA gene and an A + T-rich region. The tRNA gene trnM was rearranged to the upstream of the trnI-trnQ-trnM cluster compared with the pupative ancestral arrangement of insects. All protein-coding genes start with ATN start codon except for the gene cox1, which uses CGA as in other lepidopteran species. Ten protein-coding genes stop with termination codon TAA, whereas three protein-coding gene use incomplete stop codon T. The A + T-region is located between rrnS and trnM with a length of 332 bp and A + T content of 94.88%.
已测定小地老虎（鳞翅目：夜蛾科）的完整线粒体基因组（GenBank登录号：KF163965）。该线粒体基因组长度为15377bp，A+T含量为82.5%。有37个典型的动物线粒体基因，即13个蛋白质编码基因、2个rRNA基因和22个tRNA基因以及一个富含A+T的区域。与昆虫假定的祖先排列相比，tRNA基因trnM重排到了trnI-trnQ-trnM簇的上游。除cox1基因外，所有蛋白质编码基因均以ATN起始密码子开始，cox1基因与其他鳞翅目物种一样使用CGA。10个蛋白质编码基因以终止密码子TAA结束，而3个蛋白质编码基因使用不完全终止密码子T。A+T区域位于rrnS和trnM之间，长度为332bp，A+T含量为94.88%。
