AI Article Synopsis

  • The clearwing moth is a significant pest that affects cherry trees, primarily found in South Korea.
  • Previously thought to exist in Japan, its classification changed based on physical traits, but molecular data was lacking.
  • The study involved sequencing the entire mitochondrial genome of the moth, providing important data for evolutionary research and supporting the classification of its genus and tribe.

Article Abstract

The clearwing moth, Staudinger, 1887 (Lepidoptera: Sesiidae), is a serious pest that infests cherry trees. This species, which is distributed in South Korea, was once regarded as found in Japan, but renamed as based on morphology. Molecular data for this species are not available. Hence, we sequenced the 16,255-bp long complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of . Phylogenetic analyses in the Cossoidea superfamily supported monophyly of the genus and Synanthedonini tribe. This newly sequenced mitogenome of will be useful for studies in a diverse field of evolutionary study.
