Abstract:
The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Plodia Interpunctella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) was determined. The circular genome has a size of 15 733 base pairs, containing 36 gene protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes, and 21 tRNA genes. The overall base composition was 41.37% of A, 37.99% of T, 12.54% of G, and 8.10% of C. Furthermore, a phylogenetic tree was constructed based on complete mitogenomes of Plodia interpunctella and 11 closely related Pyralidae species to validate the taxonomy relationship. The complete mitochondrial genome of the P. interpunctella would provide more information for the evolution of Pyralidae family.
