Abstract

We report the complete mitochondrial genome of the Small-Branded Swift: Pelopidas mathias, which is an important pest of rice. The total length of the circular double-stranded mitogenome is 15,524 bp, containing 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), 2 ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) and a non-coding AT-rich region with the nucleotide base composition of 40.07% A, 40.83% T, 11.59% C, and 7.51% G, showing a relatively strong AT bias. The gene order and organization are consistent with typical Lepidoptera species. This work will provide molecular data support for the study of the phylogeny and evolution in the family Hesperiidae.
