Here, we present the complete mitochondrial genome of
Pachliopta aristolochiae
, a Common Rose butterfly from Malaysia. The sequence was generated using Illumina NovaSeq 6000 sequencing platform. The mitogenome is 15,235bp long, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, two ribosomal RNAs, and two D-loop regions. The total base composition was (81.6%), with A (39.3%), T (42.3%), C (11.0%) and G (7.3%). The gene order of the three tRNAs was
trnM-trnI-trnQ
, which differs from the ancestral insect gene order
trnI-trnQ-trnM
. Phylogenetic tree analysis revealed that the sequenced
Pachliopta aristolochiae
in this data is closely related to
Losaria neptunus
(NC 037868), with highly supported ML and BI analysis. The data presented in this work can provide useful resources for other researchers to study deeper into the phylogenetic relationships of Lepidoptera and the diversification of the
Pachliopta
species. Also, as one of the bioindicator species, this data can be used to assess environmental changes in the terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem via enviromental DNA approahes. The mitogenome of
Pachliopta aristolochiae
is available in GenBank under the accession number MZ781228.
