Determining the Complete Mitochondrial Genome of Tethea Albicostata (lepidoptera: Drepanidae) and Phylogenetic Analysis
Mitochondrial DNA Part B Resources(2023)
Abstract
Tethea albicostata is a widely distributed insect species in northern and central China. To date, few studies have been conducted on this species, with the exception of morphological taxonomy studies. Here, we report the complete mitochondrial genome of T. albicostata collected in China. The circular-mapping mitogenome is 15,308 bp in length, with an overall A + T content of 80.52%, encoding 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and 13 protein-coding genes. The gene arrangement and components of T. albicostata are identical to those of most other Lepidopteran insects. Phylogenetic analysis based on mitogenomes showed that T. albicostata is grouped with Drepana pallida, which belongs to the same family as Drepanidae. The family Drepanidae formed a separate branch from other families in the phylogenetic tree. This study determined the second mitochondrial genome of the Drepanidae species.
