Complete mitochondrial genome of the female-wingless bagworm moth, Eumeta variegata Snellen, 1879 (Lepidoptera: Psychidae).

ABSTRACT: The complete mitochondrial genome of the female-wingless bagworm moth, Eumeta variegata Snellen, 1879 (Lepidoptera: Psychidae), is 15,660 base pairs (bp) and contains a typical set of genes (13 protein-coding genes [PCGs], 2 rRNA genes, and 22 tRNA genes) and one non-coding region, with an arrangement identical to that observed in most lepidopteran genomes. Twelve PCGs contained the typical ATN start codon, whereas COI had the atypical CGA codon, which is frequently detected in the start region of the lepidopteran COI. The A + T-rich region was unusually short with only 94 bp. A recent report of the same species originating from Japan revealed a lack of trnE and trnF and a 1,118 bp long A + T-rich region.
