() Hu, Duan & Cotton, 2018 is a recently discovered, wide ranging, multivoltine swordtail butterfly in China and Vietnam. The present study reports the complete mitochondrial genome of this butterfly, which is the fifth mitochondrial genome record for subgenus Moore, 1888. The mitochondrial genome of () is circular and 15,212 bp in length, and consists of 37 genes, including 13 PCGs, 22 tRNAs, and two rRNAs. The Bayesian phylogenetic tree containing the focal species and 33 other Papilioninae members clusters () with other taxa inside tribe Leptocircini, which agrees with its taxonomic position. The findings of this study added data to the complex subgenus and are beneficial to future understanding and conservation planning of butterfly diversity.
()胡氏剑尾凤蝶、段氏剑尾凤蝶与柯氏剑尾凤蝶(Hu, Duan & Cotton, 2018)是中国和越南近期发现的一种分布广泛的多化性剑尾凤蝶。本研究报道了该蝴蝶的完整线粒体基因组,这是剑尾凤蝶亚属(Moore, 1888)的第五个线粒体基因组记录。()的线粒体基因组呈环状,长度为15212 bp,由37个基因组成,包括13个蛋白质编码基因、22个tRNA和2个rRNA。包含重点物种及其他33个凤蝶亚科成员的贝叶斯系统发育树将()与细环蝶族(Leptocircini)内的其他类群聚类在一起,这与其分类地位相符。本研究结果为这个复杂的亚属增添了数据,有助于未来对蝴蝶多样性的理解和保护规划。
