The complete mitochondrial genome of Cochylimorpha cultana (Lederer, 1855) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of Cochylimorpha cultana (Lederer) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) was 15,348 bps in size, and comprised 37 genes, which were 13 PCGs, 22 tRNA genes and two rRNA genes. Most PCGs used the conventional ATN start codon, except for cox1 initiating with CGA. Four genes (cox1, cox2, nad4 and nad5) used single T residue as stop condon. 21 out of 22 tRNAs are folded into the cloverleaf secondary structure, except for trnS1. The phylogenetic analysis based on maximum-likelihood (ML) method revealed that the evolutionary status of C. cultana in Tortricinae at the molecular level, which agrees well with the classical taxonomy.
