The complete mitochondrial genome of Papilio xuthus (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae) and implications for Papilioninae taxonomy.

ABSTRACT: The complete mitochondrial genome of Papilio xuthus (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae) was determined in this study. The mitochondrial genome is a circular molecule of 15 359 and contains 37 genes including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes and one control region. The nucleotide composition of the A. chinensis mitogenome is strongly biased toward A + T nucleotides (80.45%). Nine protein-coding genes and 14 tRNA genes are encoded on the H strand, and the other four protein-coding genes and eight tRNA genes are encoded on the L strand. The gene order and the orientation of their mitogenomes were similar to all know Papilionidae species. Finally, the phylogenetic relationships of 11 Papilionidae species were reconstructed based on complete m
