The oriental armyworm  Mythimna separate  is an economically important insect with a wide distribution and strong migratory activity. However, knowledge about the molecular mechanisms regulating the physiological and behavioural responses of the oriental armyworm is scarce. In the present study, we took a transcriptomic approach to characterize the gene network in the adult head of  M .  separate . The sequencing and  de novo  assembly yielded 63,499 transcripts, which were further assembled into 46,459 unigenes with an N50 of 1,153 bp. In the head transcriptome data, unigenes involved in the ‘signal transduction mechanism’ are the most abundant. In total, 937 signal transduction unigenes were assigned to 22 signalling pathways. The circadian clock, melanin synthesis, and non-receptor protein of olfactory gene families were then identified, and phylogenetic analyses were performed with these  M .  separate  genes, the model insect  Bombyx   mori  and other insects. Furthermore, 1,372 simple sequence repeats of 2–6 bp in unit length were identified. The transcriptome data represent a comprehensive molecular resource for the adult head of  M .  separate , and these identified genes can be valid targets for further gene function research to address the molecular mechanisms regulating the migratory and olfaction genes of the oriental armyworm.
