biostudies-literatureUnknown7(8)Jiang HYMoths of the family Limacodidae are major pests that damage tea trees, fruit trees, and forests. The complete mitochondrial genome of <i>Iragoides fasciata</i> (Lepidoptera: Limacodidae) was sequenced. The genome was found to be 15,645 bp in size (GenBank accession no. MK250437), including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), and a 431 bp A + T-rich region. Nucleotide composition showed a total A + T content of 82.03% with significant AT-bias. All PCGs were found to start with ATN codons and use the canonical stop codons TAA or incomplete T, except for <i>cox1</i>, which was found to utilize CGA as a start codon. Phylogenetic relationships were based on the 13 PCGs with 24 moths, showing that <i>I. fasciata</i> is more closely relaMitochondrial DNA.
