Abstract:
The complete mitochondrial genome of the Pseudargyria interruptella (Lepidoptera, Crambidae) has been determined in this study. The mitochondrial genome of the moth was a circular molecule of 15,231 bp. The gene content and organization were the same as those of other lepidopteran species. The 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs) started with the typical ATN codon, except the COI that used CGA as its initiation codon. Two of 13 PCGs harbored the incomplete termination codon, T or TA. All tRNAs had a typical clover-leaf structure of mitochondrial tRNAs, except for tRNASer (AGN). The A + T-rich region was also highly A + T biased, accounting for 90.9%. Several conserved motifs like ATAGA, ATTTA, poly-T stretch were founded in this region.
