Complete mitochondrial genome of (Lepidoptera: Psychidae).

We report the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of a case-making moth Wileman, 1911 (Lepidoptera: Psychidae). The 15,704 bp long complete mitogenome comprises a typical set of genes [13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 rRNA genes, and 22 tRNA genes] and one major non-coding, A + T-rich region, with an arrangement identical to that observed in most lepidopteran mitogenomes. Twelve of the 13 PCGs of the mitogenome initiate with a typical ATN start codon, however COI contains the atypical CGA start codon that is common for lepidopteran COI genes. A phylogenetic analysis using concatenated nucleotide sequences of the 13 PCGs and 2 rRNA genes using the Bayesian inference method fully resolved in a monophyletic clade within the Psychidae. was situated in a sister position to and with high nodal support. As more mitogenome sequences are available further scrutinized analysis for the superfamily Tineoidea including Psychidae will be possible.
