Summary: | The African leaf butterfly Kallimoides rumia Doubleday, 1849 (Nymphalidae), lives in the understory of Afrotropical primary forests. Genome skimming with Illumina sequencing of K. rumia permitted assembly of a complete circular mitogenome of 15,234 bp consisting of 80.9% AT nucleotides, 22 tRNAs, 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNAs and a control region. Kallimoides rumia COX1 features an atypical start codon (CGA). Genes ATP6, COX1, COX2, ND2, ND4 and ND5 feature incomplete stop codons, completed by adding 3' A residues to the mRNA. Phylogenetic reconstruction places K. rumia as a distinct lineage, not closely related to Kallima, consistent with previous phylogenetic hypotheses. |
