The complete mitochondrial genome of Euthrix laeta (Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae).

ABSTRACT: The complete mitochondrial genome of Euthrix laeta (GenBank accession number KU870700) was sequenced by traditional PCR amplification and primer walking methods. The total length was 15,368?bp, including 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and a A?+?T-rich region. The base composition of the genome was A (40.85%), T (39.34%), C (12.01%) and G (7.8%), respectively. The arrangement of all genes was identical to other lepidopteran insects. The phylogenetic relationships were established based on the nucleotide sequences of 13 protein-coding genes of mitochondrial genomes by the neighbor-joining method. The molecular-based phylogeny supported the traditional morphological classification on relationships within Lepidoptera species.
