Abstract

Abstract: The complete mitochondrial genome of Casmara patrona (Lepidoptera: Oecophoridae) was sequenced for a future phylogenetic study of Lepidoptera. The circle genome of the moth is 15, 393 bp in length with a pronounced base bias of A + T (79.3%), containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, two ribosomal RNAs, and a putative control region. The coxI gene had a CGA start codon as most lepidopteran species, other PCGs use the typical ATN codons. All PCGs end with the complete stop codon TAA. Phylogenetic analyses showed that the monophyly of Oecophoridae was highly supported based on the concatenated sequence of the 13 PCGs. In addition, Oecophoridae and Xyloryctidae had the closest relationship.
