Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of a Satirid species Coenonympha amaryllis was assembled and annotated. The mitogenome is a DNA molecule of 15125 bp, and consists of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNAs, 2 rRNAs, and 1 A–T rich region. The nucleotide composition biases toward A and T is 79.4% of the entirety, which is a typical structure of Lepidopterans. All PCGs started with ATN, except cox1, which started with CGA, 8 PCGs stop with TAN and 5 genes exhibited incomplete stop codon. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that Satyrinae is a monophyletic group and Coenonympha (C. amaryllis) as sister of the genus Triphysa (T. phryne).
