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>.
