Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of Lymantria sugii from China and its phylogenetic analysis

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Lymantria sugii (Diptera: Tephritidae: Dacinae) was sequenced and annotated. The mitochondrial genome is 15,614 bp (GenBank No. MT265380), containing 80.4% A + T (A 39.1%, C 7.3%, G 12.2%, and T 41.3%), that is heavily biased toward A and T nucleotides. All PCGs were started with ATN (ATA/ATG/ATT/ATC) and were terminated with TAR (TAA/TAG) excepting ND4, which ended with single T. Additionally, the phylogenetic tree confirmed that L. sugii clustered with L. umbrosa, L. dispar and Lymantria sp. The current study would be enrich the mitogenomes of the Lymantriinae.
