The complete mitochondrial genome of Attacus atlas formosanus Villiard, 1969 (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae).


ABSTRACT: The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Attacus atlas formosanus (Villiard, 1969) is 15,280 bp in length, with the typical gene content and arrangement usually observed in Insecta. It contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and one AT-rich region. The overall nucleotide composition of the mitogenome was 39.8% A, 12.9% C, 7.7% G, and 39.6% T, with an A + T bias of 79.4%. Phylogenetic analyses of 23 species in Saturniidae and 3 species in Bombycidae by Bayesian inference showed that A. atlas formosanus belonged to the Tribe Attacini, closely related to Tribe Saturniini. Besides, A. atlas formosanus is closely related to A. atlas with 99% sequence identity. This result well supported the taxonomic position of Saturniidae and their close relationship with the family Bombycidae.
