Complete mitochondrial genome of Histia rhodope Cramer (Lepidoptera: Zygaenidae).

Histia rhodope Cramer, found in India, Chinese, Burma, Indonesia and other Southeast Asian regions, belongs to Lepidoptera family Zygaenidae. In this study, we describe the genomic features of the mitogenome sequences of these insects. The mitogenome of Histia rhodope Cramer is 15,205 bp long consisting a typical set of genes (13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes and two rRNA genes) and one major 376 bp non-coding A + T-rich region. All PCGs of Histia rhodope Cramer start with ATN codons except cox1 which start with CGA codon and all PCGs stop at TAA codons. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrates that Histia rhodope Cramer and Rhodopsona rbiginosa are clustered together into a monophyletic group Zygaenidae. Zygaenidae is phylogenetically closer to Limacodiae than Tortricidea.
