Complete mitochondrial genome of the clearwing moth (Lepidoptera: Sesiidae).

The clearwing moth, Staudinger, 1887 (Lepidoptera: Sesiidae), is a serious pest that infests cherry trees. This species, which is distributed in South Korea, was once regarded as found in Japan, but renamed as based on morphology. Molecular data for this species are not available. Hence, we sequenced the 16,255-bp long complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of . Phylogenetic analyses in the Cossoidea superfamily supported monophyly of the genus and Synanthedonini tribe. This newly sequenced mitogenome of will be useful for studies in a diverse field of evolutionary study.
