We have determined the complete mitochondrial genome of the endangered butterfly, Luehdorfia taibai. The total lenth of the L. taibai mitogenome is 15,553 bp with 81% A + T content. It consists of 13 protein-coding, 22 tRNA, 2 rRNA genes and an A + T-rich region. All the protein-coding genes used ATN as start codon and TAA as stop codon, except for COI gene, which used CGA as start codon. The A + T-rich region was 939 bp in lenth with 95% A + T content. L. taibai mitogenome contained an extra tRNA(Leu), located from 191 bp to 259 bp, of which function was not clear.
我们已经确定了濒危蝴蝶——太白绢蝶的完整线粒体基因组。太白绢蝶线粒体基因组全长15553 bp，A+T含量为81%。它由13个蛋白质编码基因、22个tRNA基因、2个rRNA基因和一个富含A+T的区域组成。除COI基因使用CGA作为起始密码子外，所有蛋白质编码基因均使用ATN作为起始密码子，TAA作为终止密码子。富含A+T的区域长度为939 bp，A+T含量为95%。太白绢蝶线粒体基因组包含一个额外的tRNA（Leu），位于191 bp至259 bp之间，其功能尚不清楚。
