Complete mitochondrial genome data and phylogenetic analysis of the Great Marquis, Bassarona dunya (Doubleday, 1848) (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae: Limenitidinae) from Malaysia

Figures & data

Figure 1. A reference image of the sequenced Bassarona dunya collected from Ayer Hitam Forest Reserve, Johor, Malaysia.

Figure 2. Circular mitogenome map of B. dunya generated in this study.

Figure 3. Phylogenetic analysis of B. dunya sequenced in this study, as indicated with an asterisk, and other 34 Nymphalidae mitogenomes. The node values represent the bootstrap of ultrafast 5000 replicates (BS), whereas each color indicates the tribes in Limenitidinae.
