Antheraea frithi mitogenome was sequenced to understand its phylogenetic and evolutionary relationship.It comprises 22 tRNAs, 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNAs and a AT rich region.The arrangement of mitogenome gene follows the pattern Eco Palm Leaf Bowls of dytrysian lepidoptera.rrnL gene consists of Coconut Oils two unique long consensus repeats copy.tRNAs like structure of trnL and trnP are present in rrnL gene and AT rich region, respectively.

The phylogenetic analysis by maximum-likelihood method showed that A.frithi was clustered with A.pernyi and A.yamamai, the commercialized wild silkworms.
