\"African Saturniidae (Lepidoptera) have not been included in recent mitochondrial phylogenies except for two edible species of economic importance in Southern Africa. To bridge this gap, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genomes for seven additional species (Epiphora bauhinia, Heniocha dyops, Gonimbrasia tyrrhea, Bunaea alcinoe, Nudaurelia cytherea, Vegetia ducalis and Vegetia grimmia), including the first representatives of the tribe Micragonini for comparative mitogenomics and phylogenetic reconstruction of the family. The mitochondrial gene content and organization were conserved across Saturniidae. After testing for different datasets of genes, the only tree able to successfully recover the four tribes as monophyletic clades included the two rRNA gene sequences (12S rRNA and 16S rRNA) in addition to the full complement of 13 protein-coding genes.\"

\"African Saturniidae (Lepidoptera) been poorly described despite their nutritional and economic significance in Southern Africa. DNA barcodes for 15 species across 12 genera were generated as a starting point to create a reference sequence library for African Saturniidae. Phylogenetic clustering and genetic divergence estimates were used to assess patterns of genetic diversity in each genus, including all sequences available on BOLD Systems. Cases of polyphyletic and paraphyletic species affected 81\% of the dataset. Taxonomic misidentifications, clerical and laboratorial errors, introgression, hybridization and incomplete lineage sorting may contribute to explain these results. We propose that the dataset available for African Saturniidae does not correctly represent the genetic diversity of a high proportion of the taxa in the family.\"
