Query: The (non) accuracy of mitochondrial genomes for family level phylogenetics: the case of erebid moths (Lepidoptera; Erebidae) The use of molecular data to study evolutionary history of different organisms, revolutionized the field of systematics. Now with the appearance of high throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies more and more genetic sequence data is available. One of the important sources of genetic data for phylogenetic analyses has been mitochondrial DNA. The limitations of mitochondrial DNA for the study of phylogenetic relationships have been thoroughly explored in the age of single locus phylogenies. Now with the appearance of genomic scale data, more and more mitochondrial genomes are available. Here we assemble 47 mitochondrial genomes using whole genome Illumina short reads of representatives of the family Erebidae (Lepidoptera), in order to evaluate the accuracy of mitochondrial genome application in resolving deep phylogenetic relationships. We find that mitogenomes are inadequate for resolving subfamily level relationships in Erebidae, but given good taxon sampling, we see its potential in resolving lower level phylogenetic relationships.
