Phylogenomics including the newly sequenced mitogenomes of two moths (Noctuoidea, Erebidae) reveals Ischyja manlia (incertae sedis) as a member of subfamily Erebinae

Characterization of the complete mitogenome data of Ischyja marapok (Lepidoptera: Noctuoidea: Erebidae) from Malaysia

“…Due to the advancement in next-generation sequencing technologies, there are approximately 220 complete mitogenome sequences of Erebidae species published in the NCBI database, however, the mitogenome data for the genus Ischyja is scarce. Additionally, the genus Ischyja has been placed under incertae sedis in the family Erebidae and is in need of more sampling to improve their placement within the family [1 , 2] . To date, only one complete mitogenome data has been reported in NCBI database for this genus originating from India [1] , however, none has been reported from Malaysia.…”

To date, only one complete mitogenome data has been reported in NCBI database for this genus originating from India [1] , however, none has been reported from Malaysia. Therefore, this work aims to generate and characterize the complete mitogenome of I. marapok originating from Malaysia, as well as their phylogenetic position in Erebidae.…”
