The complete mitochondrial genome of (Lepidoptera: Crambidae).

The complete mitochondrial genome of (Walker, 1859) has been determined. The entire sequence is 15,219 bp in length which contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and an A + T-rich region. All PCGs start with the typical ATN codon except for with CGA. TAA is used for all the PCGs, while the and possess incomplete termination codons T or TA. The secondary structure of 22 tRNAs have the typical clover-leaf pattern except for lacking the dihydrouridine (DHU) stem. The A + T-rich region, located between the and , do not contain the motif "ATAGA" that is conserved across other lepidopteran species mitogenomes. A phylogenetic relationship of Pyraloidea has been reconstructed based on 13 PCGs data using Bayesian inference (BI) method.
