Complete mitochondrial genome of the clearwing moth <i>Synanthedon bicingulata</i> (Lepidoptera: Sesiidae)

The clearwing moth, <i>Synanthedon bicingulata</i> Staudinger, 1887 (Lepidoptera: Sesiidae), is a serious pest that infests cherry trees. This species, which is distributed in South Korea, was once regarded as <i>S. hector</i> found in Japan, but renamed as <i>S. bicingulata</i> based on morphology. Molecular data for this species are not available. Hence, we sequenced the 16,255-bp long complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of <i>S. bicingulata</i>. Phylogenetic analyses in the Cossoidea superfamily supported monophyly of the <i>Synanthedon</i> genus and Synanthedonini tribe. This newly sequenced mitogenome of <i>S. bicingulata</i> will be useful for studies in a diverse field of evolutionary study.
