The Great Marquis or is a butterfly species commonly found in the tropical regions of Asia, America, and Africa. This butterfly is a member of the subfamily Limenitidinae and the classification within this subfamily has been unstable. Here, we report the first complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of sampled from Malaysia. The mitogenome is 15,242 bp long, comprising a set of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), two ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), and an A + T rich region. All PCGs were initiated by the typical ATN codon, except for COX1 which started with a CGA start codon. Nine PCGs were terminated with a TAA or TAG stop codon, while COX1, COX2, NAD4, and NAD5 ended with an incomplete T. The 12S and 16S rRNAs were 716 bp and 1269 bp in length, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis supported the placement of within Limenitidinae with a high support value.
大侯爵蛱蝶是一种常见于亚洲、美洲和非洲热带地区的蝴蝶物种。这种蝴蝶是线蛱蝶亚科的成员,且该亚科内的分类一直不稳定。在此,我们报道了从马来西亚采集的大侯爵蛱蝶的首个完整线粒体基因组(线粒体基因组)。该线粒体基因组长度为15242 bp,由一组13个蛋白质编码基因(PCGs)、22个转运RNA(tRNAs)、两个核糖体RNA(rRNAs)和一个富含A+T的区域组成。除COX1以CGA起始密码子开始外,所有PCGs均由典型的ATN密码子起始。9个PCGs以TAA或TAG终止密码子结束,而COX1、COX2、NAD4和NAD5以不完整的T结尾。12S和16S rRNAs的长度分别为716 bp和1269 bp。系统发育分析以较高的支持值支持了大侯爵蛱蝶在线蛱蝶亚科中的分类地位。
