Abstract
The complete mitochondrial genome of Camptochilus aurea (Butler, 1881) has been determined. The entire mitochondrial genome of C. aurea is 15 362bp in length which contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes and a control region. Twelve PCGs of C. aurea start with ATN codon, but the COI gene uses CGA as the start codon. Inferred phylogenetic relationships based on the data of 25 Lepidoptera species using Bayesian inference method indicated Thyrididae had a close relationship with Gelechioidea.
