Complete mitochondrial genome of Hepialus xiaojinensis (Lepidoptera: Hepialidae)

Mitochondrial DNA Part A, 2015
Although Hepialus xiaojinensis is important as the host of Ophiocordyceps sinensis, it remains poorly known especially in genetic structure and phylogeny status. To get a better understanding of it, the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of H. xiaojinensis was sequenced for the first time.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Endoclita signifer (Lepidoptera, Hepialidae)

Mitochondrial DNA Part A, 2015
The ghost moth Endoclita signifer is a new wood-boring pest of eucalyptus in south of China. It infests dozens of native plant species, and causes severe damage to the plantations of exotic eucalyptus. We sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of E. signifer, which has the typical 37 mitochondrial genes of insects. Contrary to most of
