Butler is an important pest of camphor trees in Asia. The complete mitochondrial genome of was sequenced in this study, which was 15,150 bp in size and comprised of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and a control region. Besides, we used a phylogenomic approach to infer evolutionary relationships of and 23 Lepidoptera species based on 13 conserved protein sequences of the mitochondrial genome. Our results underline the potential importance of mitochondrial genomes in comparative genomic analyses of Lepidoptera species and provide a robust evolutionary insight across the tree of Lepidoptera insects.
樟蚕是亚洲樟树的一种重要害虫。本研究对其完整线粒体基因组进行了测序，该基因组大小为15,150 bp，由13个蛋白质编码基因、22个转运RNA基因、2个核糖体RNA基因和一个控制区组成。此外，我们基于线粒体基因组的13个保守蛋白质序列，采用系统基因组学方法推断樟蚕与23种鳞翅目物种的进化关系。我们的结果强调了线粒体基因组在鳞翅目物种比较基因组分析中的潜在重要性，并为整个鳞翅目昆虫树提供了有力的进化见解。
