title: The complete mitochondrial genome of Endoclita signifer (Lepidoptera, Hepialidae).
abstract: The ghost moth Endoclita signifer is a new wood-boring pest of eucalyptus in south of China. It infests dozens of native plant species, and causes severe damage to the plantations of exotic eucalyptus. We sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of E. signifer, which has the typical 37 mitochondrial genes of insects. Contrary to most of the Lepidoptera, the E. signifer mitogenome has the putative ancestral insect gene order. Atypical start codon (TTG) and incomplete stop codon (one T-nucleotide) were found for COX2. The E. signifer control region is 389 bp without tandem repeats, and two (TA)n stretches were observed.
