“…The data showed that maximum A+T bias was seen in S. hirtipes (72.2%) and lowest in S. macroauriculata (69.3%). The A+T content observed during the present study was found out to be in agreement to the characteristics of the base composition of the mitochondrial genome of other dipteran insects (ranging from 72.6% to 82.2%) [34]. Silvestre et al [35] suggested that one hypothesis that attempts to explain A+T bias is that the DNA polymerase could use these bases in a more efficient way during mtDNA replication [36].…”

“…Unlike the AT-skew estimates, GC-skew estimates, including those of E. autonoe (-0.243) in sequenced lipidopteran species were all negative with somewhat large values, ranging from -0.318 (O. lunifer) to -0.158 (C. raphaelis), thereby indicating that more Cs were clearly present in lepidopteran species (Table 5). Such a trend has also been noted in previous studies on Lepidoptera and Diptera (Junqueria et al, 2004), although the reason for this observed skewness remains to be clearly elucidated. With regard to PCGs, the degree of base bias was calculated in different strands of the E. autonoe mitogenome (Table 5).…”

Eumenis autonoe, a member of the lepidopteran family, Nymphalidae (superfamily Papilionoidea) is an endangered species and is found only on one isolated remote island Jeju in South Korea, on Halla Mt, at altitudes higher than 1,400 m. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of E. autonoe was reported. The 15,489-bp long E. autonoe genome evidenced the typical gene content found in animal mitogenomes, and harbors the gene arrangement identical to all other sequenced lepidopteran insects, which differs from the most common type found in insects, due to the movement of tRNA Met to a position 5'-upstream of tRNA Ile. As has been observed in many other lepidopteran insects, no typical ATN codon for the COI gene is available. Thus, we also designated the CGA (arginine) found at the beginning of the COI gene as a lepidopteran COI starter, in accordance with previous suggestions. The 678 bp long A + T-rich region, which is second longest in sequenced lepidopteran insects, harbored 10 identical 27 bp long tandem repeats plus one 13 -bp long incomplete final repeat. Such a repeat sequence has been, thus far, only rarely detected in lepidopteran mitogenomes. The E. autonoe A + T-rich region harbored a poly-T stretch of 19 bp and a conserved ATAGA motif located at the end of the region, which have been suggested to function as structural signals for minor-strand mtDNA replication. Phylogenetic reconstruction using the concatenated 13 amino acid and nucleotide sequences of the protein-coding genes (PCGs) consistently supported a close relationship between Bombycoidea and Geometroidea among six available lepidopteran superfamilies (Tortricoidea, Pyraloidea, Papilionoidea, Bombycoidea, Geometroidea and Noctuoidea). Among the true butterflies (Pieridae, Nymphalidae, Lycaenidae and Papilionidae), a closer relationship between Lycaenidae and Pieridae, excluding Nymphalidae was consistently concluded to exist, although this result deviated from the traditional view.

“…Nucleotide composition was 39.2% T, 16.5% C, 30% A and 14.3% G; that is, within the expected range for a coding gene (Saccone et al 1999;Junqueira et al 2004).…”

Tropical montane nymphalids in Mexico: DNA barcodes reveal greater diversity

Materials and methods: DNA sequences obtained for the Barcode of Life library in the All Lepidoptera Campaign project Nymphalidae of Central Mexico were analyzed as a test of species limits and to explore possible phylogenetic groupings in the Preponini tribe. Using specimens in the National Insect Collection of the Instituto de Biología of the Universidad Nacional Autó noma de México, 78 specimens were assayed for cytochrome oxidase c subunit 1. Results: Disregarding the missing data, there were 458 conserved sites, 200 variable sites and 187 parsimony-informative sites. The neighbor-joining and maximum likelihood analyses indicate that none of the three genera of Preponini as currently circumscribed are reciprocally monophyletic. As per species limits, high levels of barcode variation in the Prepona deiphile complex suggest the existence of at least two new endemic species to Mexico. The divergent taxa were escalantiana from the Tuxtlas region in Veracruz, and ibarra from Sierra Madre del Sur in the Pacific states of southern Mexico. The genetic distance in the CO1 fragment between them and the other deiphile populations ranged from 2.7 to 8.0%. Conclusion: We recommend that morphological data need to be re-examined and that additional molecular data for species ought to be gathered before a particular biogeographic model can be proposed for the group in Mesoamerica.
