The mitochondrial genome of Erannis ankeraria (Lepidoptera: Geometridae).

ABSTRACT: The measuring worm Erannis ankeraria belongs to the subfamily Ennominae of Geometridae. The mitogenome (GenBank accession number: MN046105) of E. ankeraria was sequenced, the new representative of the mitogenome of the subfamily. The nearly complete mitogenome is 15,250?bp totally, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNAs, and 22 transfer RNAs. All genes have the similar locations and strands with that of other published species of Geometridae. The nucleotide composition biases towards A and T, which together made up 79.3% of the entirety. Bayesian inference analysis strongly supported the monophyly of Bombycoidea, Geometroidea, Noctuoidea, Papilionoidea, Pyraloidea, and Tortricoidea were strongly supported. This result also suggested that the Geometroidea was the sister to Bombycoidea, and then Noctuoidea was assigned to the sister group to the clade of Geometroidea?+?Bombycoidea, and then Pyraloidea was the sister group to the clade that contains Geometroidea, Bombycoidea, and Noctuoidea, and then Papilionoidea was the sister group to the clade that contains these four superfamilies mentioned above.
