Complete mitochondrial genomes of two leafroller moths (Tortricidae: <i>Cydia</i> ) and their phylogenetic positions within the tribe Grapholitini
The leafroller moths <i>Cydia glandicolana</i> and <i>Cydia kurokoi</i> are economically important pests. Here, we report the first complete mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of these two species,with length of 15,395 bp and 15,246 bp, respectively. Each mitogenome contains13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and a single A + T-rich (D-loop) region. Their GC contents are 20.4% and 21.1%, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis, based on currently available sampling, supports the monophyly of the genus <i>Cydia</i> and indicates it is sister to the genus <i>Leguminivora.</i> Our study provides valuable genomic resources for taxonomic identification, biomonitoring, phylogenomics, and studies of genome evolution.
