Abstract
The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Hasora anura was sequenced and analyzed in the study. The mitogenome is a typical circular DNA molecule of 15 290 bp, including 37 genes and a putative control region. All protein-coding genes, except for COI begins with the CGA codon as observed in other lepidopterans, start with a typical ATN initiation codon. Eleven genes terminate with TAA or TAG codons, and two genes use a single T residue as the termination codon. All tRNAs have the typical clover-leaf structure, except that the dihydrouridine (DHU) arm of tRNASer(AGN) forms a simple loop. In the sampled species of Hesperiidae, Lobocla bifasciatus (Celaenorrhinus maculosus (Daimio Tethys, Ctenoptilum vasava)), Erynnis montanus, Carterocephalus silvicola, Ampittia dioscorides (Potanthus flavus (Ochlodes venata, Polytremis nascens)), Choaspes benjaminii (Hasora vitta, Hasora anura), are recovered in phylogenetic analyses with high supports.
