Descripción
Sumario:Ectropis grisescens (Lepidoptera, Geometridae) is one of the main leaf-eating pests in tea plantations in China. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of this species was sequenced and assembled. The total length of the mitochondrial genome of E. grisescens was 15,794 bp (GenBank accession No. MW337302). The base composition was 41.26% for A, 39.49% for T, 7.92% for G, and 11.33% for C. The circular mitogenome contained 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis performed using 13 protein-coding genes of 15 species of Geometridae and an out-group Pieris melete (Lepidoptera, Pieridae) showed that E. grisescens is closely related to species of E. obliqua, and this is consistent with the morphological identification.
