Abstract
The complete mitochondrial genome of Junonia iphita was determined to be 15,433 bp in length, including 37 typical mitochondrial genes and an AT-rich region. All the protein coding genes (PCGs) are initiated by typical ATN codons, except cox1 gene that is by CGA codon. Eight genes use complete termination codon (TAA), whereas the cox1, cox2 and nad5 genes end with single T; nad4 and nad1 ends with stop codon TA. All the tRNA show secondary cloverleaf structures except trnS1 (AGN). The A + T rich region is 546 bp in length containing ATAGA motif followed by a 18 bp poly-T stretch, two microsatellite-like (TA)9 elements and 8 bp poly-A stretch immediately upstream of trnM gene.
