First record of the complete mitochondrial genome of Botyodes diniasalis (Walker, 1859) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae).

We performed the first sequencing of the complete mitogenome of Botyodes diniasalis by high-throughput sequencing. A circular DNA molecule of 15,219 bp in size, encoding 2 rRNAs, 22 tRNAs, and 13 PCGs, contains a non-coding AT-rich region. The overall nucleotide composition of the genome is A (39.5%), T (41.3%), C (11.3%), and G (7.8%). Phylogenetic analysis based on mitogenomic data suggest that the species B. diniasalis has a close evolutionary relationship with B. principalis in Margaroniini. The complete mitogenome of B. diniasalis will serve as a valuable resource for future studies on evolution, taxonomy, genetic conservation, and utilization of Botyodes .
