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.

A new record family Neopseustidae (Insecta: Lepidoptera) from Chongqing of China, with the first description of the Neopseustis archiphenax female adult.

In 2022, the insect inventories organized by Prof. Zhi-Sheng Zhang of Southwest University were constructed in Yintiaoling Nature Reserve, Chongqing Municipality, China. The neopseustid moth from Chongqing based on three specimens of Neopseustis archiphenax by light trapping were reported in this paper. The photos of the male and female adults, genitalia, and abdominal special structures are presented with the female described firstly. Also, the DNA barcoding sequence data is provided, and the key to the Neopseustis species is given.
