title: The first complete mitogenome for the superfamily Cossoidea of Lepidoptera: The seabuckthorn carpenter moth Eogystia hippophaecolus.
abstract: We determined the first complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) for the superfamily Cossoidea of Lepidoptera from the seabuckthorn carpenter moth Eogystia hippophaecolus (GenBank accession No. KC831443). The length of this mitogenome is 15,431 bp with 37 typical animal mitochondrial genes and an A + T-rich region. The tRNA gene trnM was rearranged to the upstream of trnI-trnQ-trnM cluster compared with the pupative ancestral arrangement of insects. All protein-coding genes start with ATN start codon except for the gene cox1, which uses CGA as in other lepidopteran species. Eight protein-coding genes stop with termination codon TAA. One protein-coding gene uses incomplete stop codon TA and four use T. The A + T region is located between rrnS and trnM with a length of 317 bp and A + T content of 92.74%.
