The complete mitochondrial genome of the Common Red Apollo, Parnassius epaphus (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae: Parnassiinae)

The complete mitochondrial genome of the lemon pansy Junonia lemonias (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae: Nymphalinae)

“…Computational modeling of tRNA structures with RNA structure (Reuters 2010) shows that all but one tRNA conform to the standard tRNA cloverleaf secondary structure. The remaining trnS (AGN) has a loop in place of a dihydrouridine arm, as also seen in J. orithya , other butterfly species, and almost all arthropods (Xu et al, 2009;Qin et al, 2012;Wang et al, 2015). The two rRNAs in J. lemonias both have very high AT content, with rrnL consisting of 84.01% AT and rrnS consisting of 84.88% AT.…”

“…This AT-rich region lies between rrnS and trnM. Like J. orithya and other Lepidopteran mitogenomes (Wang et al, 2015), the control region includes an ATAGA motif (Cameron and Whiting, 2008), although in J. lemonias it is followed by a 20 bp poly-T stretch as opposed to the 18 bp poly-T stretch found in J. orithya . J. almana also has this ATAGA motif with a 19 bp poly-T stretch, but the motif has an extra terminal A nucleotide so that the sequence is ATAGAA.…”

Complete mitochondrial genome of Papilio elwesi and its phylogenetic analyses with other swallowtail butterflies (Lepidoptera, Papilionidae)

“…The complete mitogenome of P. elwesi is a closed, circular DNA molecule 15,082 bp in length, with 37 coding genes (two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and 13 protein-coding genes) and a non-coding A + T rich region, and the gene arrangement and orientation are similar to those of the typical mitogenomes of Lepidoptera (Wang et al. 2015 ; Chen et al. 2020 ).…”

The complete mitochondrial genome of Parnassius mercurius Grum-Grshimailo (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae: Parnassiinae)

“…(Wang et al. 2015 ). In this study, we newly sequenced and characterized the complete mitogenome of the P. mercurius , meanwhile, we conducted the phylogenetic analysis of the species with other related Parnassius species.…”

“…In recent decades, insect mitogenomes have been widely used in studies of phylogenetic relationships, phylogeography and population genetics, etc. (Wang et al 2015). In this study, we newly sequenced and characterized the complete mitogenome of the P. mercurius, meanwhile, we conducted the phylogenetic analysis of the species with other related Parnassius species.…”
