\"In this study, we sequenced and analyzed the complete mitogenome of Marumba saishiuana Okamoto, 1924. The complete mitogenome sequence of M. saishiuana is circular, 15,662 bp in size and encodes 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), and a control region (CR). Nucleotide composition is highly biased toward A\þT nucleotides (81.2\%). Most of 13 PCGs initiate with the standard start codon of ATN, except cox1, which starts with CGA. Phylogenetic analyses were performed using nucleotide sequences. A total of 32 Smerinthinae species were selected. The topology based on mitogenome showed that M. saishiuana, M. gaschkewitschii, and M. sperchius formed a clade, and this indicated that M. saishiuana was a member of genus Marumba. Polyptychus trilineatus was the most closely related to genus Marumba on the phylogenetic tree reconstructed by mitogenomes.\"

\"In this study, we sequenced and analyzed the complete mitochondrial genome of Rhodoprasina callantha Jordan, 1929. The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of R. callantha was 15,343 bp in size and encoded 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNA genes (rRNA), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNA) and one control region (CR). The nucleotide composition of mitogenome was highly biased to A and T. Most protein-coding genes (PCGs) initiate with the standard start codon of ATN and terminate with the typical stop codon TAA/TAG. The phylogeny of Sphingidae based on nucleotide sequences of PCGs recovered the monophyly of subfamilies of Sphingidae with high support values. Langinae was the first subfamily diverged in Sphingidae, which was in accordance with previous study. R. callantha was the member of subfamily Smerinthinae, and closely related to the genus Marumba.\"

\"The complete mitogenome of an endemic silkmoth in Taiwan, Antheraea formosana, was determined using Illumina next-generation sequencing. The mitogenome is 15,318\ bp in length and consists of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two rRNAs, 22 tRNAs, and one non-coding control region. The overall base composition of the mitogenome showed a high A\ +\ T bias, and the A\ +\ T content (80.2\%) was significantly higher than the G\ +\ C content (19.8\%). All PCGs use the typical ATN as the initiation codon, with the exception of cox2, which begins with GTG, respectively.

\"Currently, the mitochondrial genome of only two species of Sphingidae have been completely
sequenced. For the phylogenetic study of Bombycoidea (including Bombycidae, Saturniidae and
Sphingidae) using mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes), more species are required as a basis for
future research. In the present study, we sequenced the complete mitogenome of the hawkmoth,
Notonagemia analis scribae (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae), to enrich the Sphingidae database. The length of
the N. a. scribae genome was 15,303 bp with a typical set of genes (13 protein-coding genes [PCGs], 2
rRNA genes, and 22 tRNA genes), and one major non-coding A\þT-rich region. The COI gene had a CGA
start codon, which is the start codon for this gene in the majority of lepidopteran species, whereas other
PCGs began with ATN codons. A 318-bp A\þT-rich region harbored the blocks of conserved sequences
that are typically found in lepidopteran insects, excluding a poly-A stretch, which is typically found at
the end of the A\þT-rich region. Phylogenetic analysis using the 13 PCGs indicated that N. a. scribae
grouped together with two within-familial species, Sphinx morio and Manduca sexta, with the highest
nodal support both by Bayesian inference and maximum-likelihood methods, forming the Sphingidae
monophyletic group.\"
