Abstract:
The phylogenetic relationships within Limacodidae remain unresolved, highlighting the need for expanded genomic resources. This study presents the first complete mitochondrial genome of Austrapoda dentatus, 15,354 bp in length and comprising 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs, two rRNAs, and an A+T rich region. The gene arrangement follows the typical Lepidopteran pattern. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 13 protein-coding genes supports A. dentatus and Apoda limacodes as sister taxa within the Apoda clade. These findings aid in understanding Limacodidae phylogeny and emphasize the importance of securing broader mitochondrial genome sequences across the family.

LBCs are made up of two pairs of conjugating homologous chromatids. Each chromatid consists of alternatively positioned regions of condensed-inactive chromatin and loosely placed-active side loops, which can be contracted and extended. The loops...
