Complete mitochondrial genome of Cnidocampa flavescens (Lepidoptera: Limacodidae)

Abstract

Cnidocampa flavescens, lives in Nepal, Bhutan, China, Far East of Russia, Korea, and Japan, belongs to the Lepidoptera family Limacodidae. In this study, we describe the genomic features of the mitogenome sequences of the insects. The mitogenome of C. flavescens is 15,406 bp long consisting a typical set of genes (13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, and 2 rRNA genes) and one major 415 bp non-coding A + T-rich region. All PCGs of C. flavescens start with ATN codons and end with TAA codons. The gene arrangement of C. flavescens mitogenome is same to Monema flavescens while the intergenic spacers and overlaps are different. The 415 bp A + T-rich region contains a conserved ATAGA motif followed a poly-T stretch.
