“…Its gene arrangement and orientation are identical to those of other known nymphalid mitogenomes (e.g. Wu et al 2014;Shi et al 2015;McCullagh and Marcus 2015;Timmermans et al 2016). The A þ T content of the P. c-aureum mitogenome is 80.6%, which is generally in accordance with other nymphalid mitogenomes.…”

The mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Polygonia c-aureum (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae: Nymphalinae) is determined to be 15,209 bp in length and shows AT bias (80.6%). Similar to other butterflies, it contains 37 typical mitochondrial genes and one AT-rich region (D-loop). All protein-coding genes (PCGs) started with ATN, except for cox1 gene with CGA(R), which is often found in other butterflies, and seven PCGs harbour the typical stop codon TAA, whereas cox1 , cox2 , nad3 , nad5 , nad4 and nad1 end with a single T. The rrnL and rrnS genes are 1332 bp and 773 bp in length, respectively. The 342 bp AT-rich region contains non-repetitive sequences, but harbour several features common to the lepidopterans, including the motif ATAGA followed by a 19-bp poly-T stretch and a microsatellite-like (TA) 8 element preceded by the ATTTA motif. The complete mitogenome sequence provided here would be useful for further understanding the taxonomy and phylogeny of Nymphalinae.

“…The sequence reads were assembled to a previously published J. lemonias full mitochondrial genome reference sequence (GenBank voucher KP941765) (McCullagh & Marcus, ) using geneious version 8.1.8 (Kearse et al , ). The J. coenia bergi sequence was also annotated in geneious using the previously published J. lemonias (McCullagh & Marcus, ) and J. coenia coenia (GenBank voucher KT380025) (Teng et al , ) full mitochondrial genome sequences as references. Secondary tRNA structures were analyzed using the default settings of rnastructure software (Reuter & Mathews, ) and sequence identity comparisons were carried out using emboss needle (Rice et al , ).…”

“…Junonia coenia, the common buckeye, is a well-studied North American species that is often subdivided into three subspecies. The first subspecies, the grey or northern buckeye J. coenia grisea, occurs in California and in adjacent regions of the southwestern USA and northwestern Mexico (Austin & Emmel, 1998), but has recently been found to have a unique mitochondrial genome and to form a distinct evolutionary lineage (Pfeiler et al, 2012;Gemmell & Marcus, 2015;McCullagh, 2016). The nominate subspecies, J. coenia coenia, occurs in much of eastern North America as well as in Cuba and the Bahamas (Gemmell & Marcus, 2015).…”

“…As the wg gene is unaffected by mitochondrial introgression, it provides a useful comparison to mitochondrial data. Complete mitochondrial genomes also provide valuable information about species relationships not apparent from COI barcodes alone (McCullagh, 2016). A description of the structure of the complete J. coenia bergi mitochondrial genome was recently published (Peters & Marcus, 2016), but newly available complete Junonia mitochondrial genome sequences (McCullagh, 2016) make phylogenetic comparisons and an evaluation of the taxonomic status of J. coenia bergi possible.…”

Taxonomy as a hypothesis: testing the status of the Bermuda buckeye butterfly Junonia coenia bergi (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae)

Species determination and definition in eukaryotes have traditionally been based on morphology, with little focus on genetic differentiation. Molecular methods allow for the independent assessment of morphology‐based taxonomic hypotheses. Three criteria used to define a full species for taxonomic purposes are morphological distinction, formation of a monophyletic lineage, and reproductive isolation. Junonia butterflies (Nymphalidae) are becoming an important experimental model system, but the taxonomy of many New World Junonia species is unclear. One of these species is J. coenia, which contains the subspecies J. coenia coenia, J. coenia grisea and J. coenia bergi. Previous studies suggest that J. coenia grisea may meet the criteria for full species status. Therefore, we evaluated the geographically isolated and rarely studied Bermuda buckeye butterfly J. coenia bergi to determine if it was similarly distinct. Physical examination of specimens and phylogenetic and population genetic analyses of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I, nuclear wingless, and complete mitochondrial genome sequences suggest that while J. coenia bergi is smaller in body size than many Junonia and has distinctive ventral hindwing colouration, it does not form a monophyletic lineage and shows indications of continued gene flow with North American mainland J. coenia coenia populations. Thus, J. coenia bergi does not meet the criteria for full species designation, but geographic isolation, morphological distinctiveness, and cultural importance suggest that it remain recognized as a subspecies of J. coenia. Similar analyses will be useful for addressing further taxonomic questions in Junonia and other taxa, especially where morphology‐based taxonomic determinations are ambiguous.

The phylogenetic relationships among the nymphalid subfamilies have largely been resolved using both morphological and molecular datasets, with the exception of a conflicting basal clade position for Libytheinae or Danainae that remains contentious between morphological and molecular studies. Several phylogenomic analyses have found that the danaine clade is sister to other nymphalid subfamilies; however, it largely depends on utilizing different molecular datasets, analysis methods, and taxon sampling. This study aimed to resolve the basal clade position and relationships among subfamilies and tribes of Nymphalinae by combining the most comprehensive available mitogenomic datasets with various analyses methods by incorporating a new Symbrenthia lilaea Hewitson sequence data. Phylogenetic relationships among 11 nymphalid subfamilies and the tribes of Nymphalinae were inferred by combining new and available mitogenomic sequence data from 80 ingroup and six outgroup species. The phylogenetic trees were reconstructed using maximum-likelihood (ML) and Bayesian inference (BI) methods based on five concatenated datasets: amino acid sequences and nucleotides from different combinations of protein-coding genes (PCGs), ribosomal RNA (rRNAs), and transfer RNA (tRNAs). Danainae is well-supported as the basal clade and sister to the remaining nymphalid subfamilies, except for the paraphyletic Libytheinae. Libytheinae was either recovered as a sister to the danaine clade followed by the satyrine clade or sister to the nymphaline + heliconiine clades, and is consistent with recent phylogenetic studies on Nymphalidae. The monophyletic Nymphalinae has been recovered in all analyses and resolves tribal-level relationships with high support values in both BI and ML analyses. We supported the monophyletic Nymphalini as a sister clade to Victorini, Melitaeini, and Kallimini + Junoniini with high supporting values in BI and ML analyses, which is consistent with previously published morphological and molecular studies.
