The mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae: Nymphalinae) is determined to be 15,209 bp in length and shows AT bias (80.6%). Similar to other butterflies, it contains 37 typical mitochondrial genes and one AT-rich region (D-loop). All protein-coding genes (PCGs) started with ATN, except for gene with CGA(R), which is often found in other butterflies, and seven PCGs harbour the typical stop codon TAA, whereas , , , , and end with a single T. The and genes are 1332 bp and 773 bp in length, respectively. The 342 bp AT-rich region contains non-repetitive sequences, but harbour several features common to the lepidopterans, including the motif ATAGA followed by a 19-bp poly-T stretch and a microsatellite-like (TA) element preceded by the ATTTA motif. The complete mitogenome sequence provided here would be useful for further understanding the taxonomy and phylogeny of Nymphalinae.
某种蛱蝶科蛱蝶亚科（鳞翅目：蛱蝶科：蛱蝶亚科）的线粒体基因组（线粒体基因组）长度确定为15209bp，显示出AT偏好（80.6%）。与其他蝴蝶相似，它包含37个典型的线粒体基因和一个富含AT的区域（D环）。所有蛋白质编码基因（PCG）均以ATN起始，但 基因以CGA(R)起始，这在其他蝴蝶中也经常出现，并且七个PCG含有典型的终止密码子TAA，而 、 、 、 、 和 以单个T结尾。 和 基因的长度分别为1332bp和773bp。342bp的富含AT的区域包含非重复序列，但具有鳞翅目昆虫共有的几个特征，包括基序ATAGA，其后是19bp的多聚T延伸以及在ATTTA基序之前的微卫星样（TA）元件。此处提供的完整线粒体基因组序列将有助于进一步了解蛱蝶亚科的分类学和系统发育。
