Abstract

Sesia siningensis is an important trunk borer of poplar and is widely distributed in China. Here, the complete mitochondrial genome of S. siningensis was sequenced. The circle genome of the clearwing moth is 15,454 bp in length. There are 38 sequence elements including 13 protein coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and a control region. The order of most elements was consistent with that of Chilo suppressalis, with the exception of one tRNA gene. As the first reported mitochondrial genome in the Sesiidae family, it will provide useful information to the development and application of better markers and primers in the molecular taxonomy of this family.

Keywords: Sesia siningensis; Sesiidae; clearwing moth; mitogenome.
