Micromelalopha sieversi
(Staudinger, 1892) is a significant pest of Poplar trees in China. In this study, we used high-throughput sequencing to sequence the whole mitochondrial genome of
M. sieversi
. The length of the genome was 15,373 base pairs. The nucleotide composition was 39.8%, 11.5%, 8.0%, and 40.7% for A, C, G, and T, respectively. We used the maximum-likelihood method to construct a molecular phylogenetic tree based on complete mitogenome sequences of 19
Noctuoidea
species as ingroups and five
Geometroidea
species as outgroups. The results indicate that the genus
Micromelalopha
is closely related to the genus
Clostera
in family Notodontidae.
