Abstract
The black dead leaf butterfly Doleschallia melana (Staudinger, 1886) (Nymphalidae) is a leaf mimic endemic to Indonesia. Genome skimming by Illumina sequencing enabled the assembly of a complete 15,269 bp circular mitogenome from D. melana consisting of 80.0% AT nucleotides, 22 tRNAs, 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNAs and a control region in the typical butterfly gene order. Doleschallia melana COX1 features an atypical CGA start codon while ATP6, COX1, COX2, ND1, ND2, ND4, and ND5 exhibit incomplete stop codons. Phylogenetic reconstruction places D. melana as the sister taxon to the clade containing the tribes Kallimini, Nymphalini and Junoniini.
