Abstract

Abstract: The complete mitochondrial genome of Euthrix laeta (GenBank accession number KU870700) was sequenced by traditional PCR amplification and primer walking methods. The total length was 15, 368 bp, including 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and a A + T-rich region. The base composition of the genome was A (40.85%), T (39.34%), C (12.01%) and G (7.8%), respectively. The arrangement of all genes was identical to other lepidopteran insects. The phylogenetic relationships were established based on the nucleotide sequences of 13 protein-coding genes of mitochondrial genomes by the neighbor-joining method. The molecular-based phylogeny supported the traditional morphological classification on relationships within Lepidoptera species.
