Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of the orange swift, .

In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of orange swift, , was recovered through Illumina sequencing data. This complete mitochondrial genome of is 15,040 bp in length and has a base composition of A (41.0%), T (41.2%), C (10.4%), G (7.5%), demonstrating an extreme bias of high AT content (82.2%). The mitochondrial genome contains a typically conserved structure among moth mitogenomes, encoding 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, two ribosomal RNA (12S rRNA and 16S rRNA) genes and a control region (D-loop region). Seven PCGs were located on the H-strand, others were located on the L-strand. gene and gene were overlapped by 6 bp. gene and gene were overlapped by 9 bp. The whole mt genome of and other moth and butterfly mitogenomes (100 species, in total) were used for phylogenetic analysis. The result indicated represents a distinct genus, which separated far from genus .
