The complete mitochondrial genome of Diaphania pyloalis Walker (Lepidoptera: Crambidae).

The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Diaphania pyloalis Walker collected from China was reported and characterized. The mitogenome was 14,960 bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes and 1 short A + T-rich region. The A + T content of the mitochondrial genome is 80.77%. All protein-coding genes were initiated by an ATN codon, except for coxI gene which is initiated by CGA. Only coxII gene was terminated with a single T. There are 13 overlaps totaling 52 bp, and 13 intergenic spacer regions totaling 121 bp in the D. pyloalis mitogenome. The short A + T-rich region is 67 bp long, with 91.04% A + T content.
