The complete mitochondria genome sequence of Heortia vitessoides Moore

Abstract

Heortia vitessoides (Moore) is the most destructive defoliating pests in Aquilaria sinensis (Loureiro) Sprenger forests in Southern China. The complete sequences of mitochondria is reported: a circular molecule of 15,516 bp in size included 40.13% for A, 40.79% for T, 11.23% for C and 7.86% for G. There are 60 genes including 3 species with 12 protein-coding genes, 2 different species ribosomal RNA genes (S and L rRNA species), 46 transfer RNA genes (20 RNA species). H. vitessoides (Moore) and other 19 species belonging to lepidopteran were phylogenetic and analyzed by MEGA 6.06 with neighbor-joining methods. The mtDNA of H. vitessoides (Moore) were clustered in lepidopteran superfamilies.
