Abstract

In this study, the complete mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of and (Nymphalidae: Apaturinae) were acquired. The mitogenomes of and are 15,252 bp and 15,208 bp in length, respectively. These two mitogenomes have the typical composition, including 37 genes and a control region. The start codons of the protein-coding genes (PCGs) in the two mitogenomes are the typical codon pattern ATN, except CGA in the gene. Twenty-one tRNA genes show a typical clover leaf structure, however, (AGN) lacks the dihydrouridine (DHU) stem. The secondary structures of and of two species were predicted, and there are several new stem loops near the 5' of secondary structure. Based on comparative genomic analysis, four similar conservative structures can be found in the control regions of these two mitogenomes. The phylogenetic analyses were performed on mitogenomes of Nymphalidae. The phylogenetic trees show that the relationships among Nymphalidae are generally identical to previous studies, as follows: Libytheinae\Danainae + ((Calinaginae + Satyrinae) + Danainae\Libytheinae + ((Heliconiinae + Limenitidinae) + (Nymphalinae + (Apaturinae + Biblidinae)))). is apart from , and closely related to Apatura, forming monophyly.
