Dudusa sphingiformis
is an important lepidopteran pest widely distributed in tropical and subtropical zones of Asia. In this paper, the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of
D. sphingiformis
was determined by next-generation sequencing. The mitogenome was 15,806 bp in length, comprising 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and an AT-rich control region (D-loop). The gene arrangement of this mitogenome was identical to that of the previous studies of Notodontidae moths. Almost all the PCGs initiated with typical ATN codons, except for
cox1
with CGA. Among them, nine PCGs terminated with TAA or TAG, while other four PCGs (
cox1
,
cox2
,
nad5
, and
nad4
) with incomplete stop codon T. All the 22 tRNAs had the typical cloverleaf structure, except for
trnS1
, whose dihydrouridine (DHU) arm forms a simple loop. Phylogenetic analysis based on the concatenated nucleotide sequences of 13 PCGs indicated that
D. sphingiformis
was more closely related to other species of family Notodontidae, forming a monophyletic group, with well-resolved relationships among five family of Noctuoidea.
Bombus longipennis
is the species of Bumblebees (Hymenoptera: Apidae), which are important pollinators for wild plants and greenhouses crops. The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of
B. longipennis
was determined by next-generation sequencing. The mitogenome was 18,458 bp in size with 87.2% A + T content, containing 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and an AT-rich control region (D-loop). Gene arrangement was found to be identical to those of other mitogenomes of bumblebees (e.g.
Bombus terrestris
and
Bombus ignitus
). All 13 PCGs initiated with typical ATN codons. Among them, 11 PCGs terminated with TAA or TAG; only
cox2
and
nad4
have incomplete stop codon T. All 22 tRNAs can be folded into typical cloverleaf structure. Phylogenetic analysis based on the concatenated nucleotide sequences of all 13 PCGs indicated that
B. longipennis
was more closely related to other species of subgenus
Bombus
, which clustered into a monophyletic group.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
