Gortyna guizhouensis
Wu, Yang, and Han, 2022 (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae) is a newly discovered moth species that feeds on tobacco piths during the larval stage. In this study, we sequenced and analyzed the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of
G. guizhouensis
larvae
via
next-generation sequencing. The mitogenome was 15,441 bp long with an overall A + T content of 79.1%, 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), two ribosomal RNA subunit genes and one control region. The phylogenetic tree, based on the nucleic acid sequences of 13 shared PCGs of 20 Noctuidae species, revealed that
G. guizhouensis
is in a well-supported clade with
Striacosta albicosta
.
