The Riodinidae is one of the lepidopteran butterfly families. This study describes the complete mitochondrial genome of the butterfly species Abisara fylloides, the first mitochondrial genome of the Riodinidae family. The results show that the entire mitochondrial genome of A. fylloides is 15 301 bp in length, and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and a 423 bp A+T-rich region. The gene content, orientation and order are identical to the majority of other lepidopteran insects. Phylogenetic reconstruction was conducted using the concatenated 13 protein-coding gene (PCG) sequences of 19 available butterfly species covering all the five butterfly families (Papilionidae, Nymphalidae, Peridae, Lycaenidae and Riodinidae). Both maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference analyses highly supported the monophyly of Lycaenidae+Riodinidae, which was standing as the sister of Nymphalidae. In addition, we propose that the riodinids be categorized into the family Lycaenidae as a subfamilial taxon. The Riodinidae is one of the lepidopteran butterfly families.

弄蝶科是鳞翅目蝴蝶家族之一。本研究描述了弄蝶物种菲氏翠灰蝶（Abisara fylloides）的完整线粒体基因组，这是弄蝶科的首个线粒体基因组。结果表明，菲氏翠灰蝶的整个线粒体基因组长度为15301 bp，包含13个蛋白质编码基因、2个核糖体RNA基因、22个转运RNA基因和一个423 bp的富含A+T区域。基因内容、方向和顺序与大多数其他鳞翅目昆虫相同。使用涵盖所有五个蝴蝶科（凤蝶科、蛱蝶科、珍蝶科、灰蝶科和弄蝶科）的19种可用蝴蝶物种的13个串联蛋白质编码基因（PCG）序列进行了系统发育重建。最大似然法和贝叶斯推断分析都高度支持灰蝶科+弄蝶科的单系性，它们是蛱蝶科的姐妹群。此外，我们建议将弄蝶类作为一个亚科分类单元归入灰蝶科。弄蝶科是鳞翅目蝴蝶家族之一。本研究描述了弄蝶物种的完整线粒体基因组，这是弄蝶科的首个线粒体基因组。结果表明，的整个线粒体基因组长度为15301 bp，包含13个蛋白质编码基因、2个核糖体RNA基因、22个转运RNA基因和一个423 bp的富含A+T区域。基因内容、方向和顺序与大多数其他鳞翅目昆虫相同。使用涵盖所有五个蝴蝶科（凤蝶科、蛱蝶科、珍蝶科、灰蝶科和弄蝶科）的19种可用蝴蝶物种的13个串联蛋白质编码基因（PCG）序列进行了系统发育重建。最大似然法和贝叶斯推断分析都高度支持灰蝶科+弄蝶科的单系性，它们是蛱蝶科的姐妹群。此外，我们建议将弄蝶类作为一个亚科分类单元归入灰蝶科。
