Complete mitochondrial genome of Eilema ussiricum (Lepidoptera: Erebidae)

The Eilema ussiricum belongs to Erebidae in Lepidoptera. The complete mitogenome of E. ussiricum was described in this study, which is typically circular duplex molecules and 15,344 bp in length, containing the standard metazoan set of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and an A + T-rich region. All the inferred tRNA secondary structures show the common cloverleaf pattern, with the exception of tRNA-Ser(AGN) which lacks the DHU arm. Except for cox1 started with CGA, all other PCGs started with the standard ATN codons. All of the PCGs terminated with the stop codon TAA. The phylogenetic tree showed that the species of subfamily Arctiinae include E. ussiricum are clustered into a clade.
