The complete mitochondrial genome of Pycnarmon lactiferalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae).

ABSTRACT: The complete mitochondrial genome of Pycnarmon lactiferalis (Walker, 1859) has been determined. The entire sequence is 15,219 bp in length which contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and an A + T-rich region. All PCGs start with the typical ATN codon except for COI with CGA. TAA is used for all the PCGs, while the COI, COII and ND5 possess incomplete termination codons T or TA. The secondary structure of 22 tRNAs have the typical clover-leaf pattern except for tRNA^Ser(AGN) lacking the dihydrouridine (DHU) stem. The A + T-rich region, located between the srRNA and tRNA^Met , do not contain the motif "ATAGA" that is conserved across other lepidopteran species mitogenomes.
