The complete mitochondrial genome of <i>Parotis chlorochroalis</i> (Hampson, 1912) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae)

The complete mitochondrial genome of the <i>Parotis chlorochroalis</i> was sequenced, revaeling a length of 15239 bp with 37 genes and an A + T-rich region. All c13 PCGs begin with typical ATN codons, except COI gene, which starts with CGA. Eleven genes terminate with TAA, two with T–. All 22 tRNA genes exhibit typical cloverleaf structure except for trnS1 <i>P. chlorochroalis</i> has two relatively conserved intergenic regions and two relatively conserved overlapping regions. Phylogenetic analysis support <i>P. chlorochroalis</i> belongs to subfamily Spilomelinae, the topologies of Crambidae are highly congruent with previous studies. This newly sequences mitochondrial genome provides valuable resources for taxonomic inference and evolutionary studies of genus <i>Parotis</i>.
