Mythimna loreyi (Duponchel, 1827) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is a pest that damages agricultural plants, such as rice, wheat, and maize. We sequenced the entire 15,314-bp mitochondrial genome of this species. It has a typical set of genes (13 proteincoding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNA genes) as well as one major non-coding A+T-rich region. Using concatenated sequences of 13 protein-coding genes and two rRNAs (13,376 bp, including gaps), phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that the sister relationship between M. loreyi and M. separata had the highest nodal support. The monophyly of each family (Noctuidae, Euteliidae, Nolidae, Erebidae, and Notodontidae) of the superfamily Noctuoidea was supported by the highest nodal support.

뒷흰가는줄무늬밤나방은 쌀, 밀, 옥수수와 같은 농작물에 피해를 주는 해충이다. 본 연구에서는 국내 뒷흰가는줄무늬밤나방의 미토콘드리아 게놈(15,314b)을 분석하였다. 13개의PCG와2개의 rRNA (13,376bp)를 연결한 서열을 사용한 계통발생 분석 결과, 뒷흰가는줄무늬밤나방과 멸 강나방 사이의 가장 높은 노드 수치로 자매분류군을 형성하였다. 밤나방상과(Noctuoidea)의 각 과(Noctuidae, Euteliidae, Nolidae, Erebidae 및 Notodontidae)들은 가장 높은 노드수치로 단계통을 형성하였다.
