In this study, the complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of Parum colligata (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae: Smerinthinae) was sequenced firstly. The mitogenome is 15,288 bp in size, containing 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), two ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs), and an A+T-rich region. In the mitogenome, Ile, Leu2, and Phe are the most frequently used codon families, while codons GCG, TGC, GGC, CTG, AGG, and ACG are absent.

The mitogenome is 15,410 base pairs in length. All 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs) are initiated by ATN codons except cox1 with CGA and all of PCGs terminate with TAA except nad4 with TAG.

- - The study sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of a specific Sphingidae species, which contains 37 genes, including protein-coding, tRNA, and rRNA genes, in a circular structure of 15,399 base pairs.
- - Gene order and orientation in this mitogenome were found to be similar to other Sphingidae species, with most protein-coding genes using ATN codons, while some specific genes have unique termination codons.
- - Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the species belongs to the Macroglossinae subfamily and revealed its closer relationship to certain other species, grouping several related species into one clade.
Article Synopsis
- This study sequenced and compared the complete mitogenomes of two moth species, P. increta and M. stellatarum, revealing their circular structure with a total length of approximately 15,252 and 15,290 base pairs, respectively.
- The research found that, except for the cox1 gene, all protein-coding genes (PCGs) start with ATN codons and typically end with TAA, with some variations noted between the two species.
- Phylogenetic analysis suggests a specific evolutionary relationship among various Sphingidae species, positioning P. increta and M. stellatarum within a defined lineage that includes other notable species like Sphinx morio and Manduca sexta.
