Complete mitochondrial genome of Phyllonorycter ringoniella (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae)

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of Phyllonorycter ringoniella (Matsumura, 1931) is characterized by a circular with 15,729 bp in size, containing 37 encoded genes and a control region. The gene order and nucleotide composition are similar to the known gracillariid mitogenomes. All protein-coding genes (PCGs) initiate with ATN and terminate with TAN, while cox1 starts with CGA, cox1, cox2, nad3, and nad5 terminate with an incomplete codon TA– or T–. All transfer RNA genes (tRNAs) can fold into typical clover-leaf structure, except for trnS1 (AGN), in which dihydrouridine stem is simplified to form a loop structure. The control region is located between 12S rRNA and trnM with relatively strong AT bias. The phylogenetic trees reveal that two subfamilies Oecophyllembiinae and Acrocercopinae were clustered together, and that clade was sister to the subfamily Lithocolletinae. All species of the genus Phyllonorycter grouped into a monophyletic clade and the P. ringoniella was closely related to P. platani.
