The complete mitochondrial genome of a tussock moth: Euproctis seitzi (Lepidoptera: Erebidae, Lymantriinae)

Abstract

We describe the mitogenome sequence of Euproctis seitzi collected in the Mt. Luofu, which located in the southeast of China. The assembled mitogenome is 15, 276 bp in length and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer-RNA genes, 2 ribosomal-RNA genes, and one A + T rich region. The most common start codon for 13 PCGs is ATT and the most common termination codon is TAA. The overall G + C content was only 18.57% in the heavy strand. The result of the phylogenetic analysis shows that the relationship of E. seitzi is close to the species in the same subfamily.
