The mitogenome is 15,318 bp in length and consists of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two rRNAs, 22 tRNAs, and one non-coding control region. The overall base composition of the mitogenome showed a high A + T bias, and the A + T content (80.2%) was significantly higher than the G + C content (19.8%). All PCGs use the typical ATN as the initiation codon, with the exception of <i>cox2</i>, which begins with GTG, respectively. The complete mitogenome was used to reconstruct a phylogenetic tree, indicating that <i>A. formosana</i> is more closely related to <i>Antheraea assamensis</i> than other <i>Antheraea</i> species, with 93.19% nucleotide similarity.Mitochondrial DNA.
