The complete mitochondrial genome of Catocala electa (Vieweg, 1790).

Catocala electa is one of the secondary pests in agriculture. In this study, the whole mitochondrial genome sequence of C. electa was determined with the help of Illumina sequencing. The complete genome sequence is 15,575 bp in total length, which contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNAs(tRNAs) region, 2 ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) and 1 control region (CR). The overall base components of mitogenome of all bases was 39.58% for A, 41.72% for T, 11.38% for C and 7.33% for G. Phylogenetic analysis using the ML method showed that C. electa was clustered into one branch with Catocala sp. XY-2014.
