Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of Eumeta variegate, largest bagworm moth in Japan, has been sequenced using a nanopore sequencer as a single long read. The genome has a total length of 16,601 bp, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 20 tRNA, 2 rRNA genes, and an AT-rich control region. The nucleotide composition was extremely AT-rich, with 42.4% A, 40.4% T, 6.67% G, and 10.6% C. This is the second report of a complete mitochondrial genome of Psychidae, and the sequence information together with a phylogenetic analysis would provide a reference data in the future studies of Lepidoptera and Psychidae.

Keywords: Eumeta japonica; Eumeta variegata; Mitochondrial genome; bagworm moth; nanopore sequencing.

A maximum-likelihood tree of the phylogenetic position of E. variegata among other Leidoptera species. The tree was calculated from concatenated amino acid sequences of 13 mitochondrial protein genes using multiple alignment with MAFFT (Katoh and Standley 2014), followed by Trimal (80% consensus) and RAxML (Stamatakis 2015) with 100 bootstraps. Tree is visualized with FigTree (

). Orthoptera was used as an outgroup. GenBank accession numbers of mitogenome sequences used is shown in parentheses.
