It contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and one AT-rich region. The overall nucleotide composition of the mitogenome was 39.8% A, 12.9% C, 7.7% G, and 39.6% T, with an A + T bias of 79.4%. Phylogenetic analyses of 23 species in Saturniidae and 3 species in Bombycidae by Bayesian inference showed that <i>A. atlas formosanus</i> belonged to the Tribe <i>Attacini</i>, closely related to Tribe <i>Saturniini.</i> Besides, <i>A. atlas formosanus</i> is closely related to <i>A. atlas</i> with 99% sequence identity. This result well supported the taxonomic poMitochondrial DNA.
