For centuries, biologists have used phenotypes to infer evolution. For decades, a handful of
gene markers have given us a glimpse of the genotype to combine with phenotypic traits …

We sequenced the mitogenomes of Astictopterus jama, Isoteinon lamprospilus and
Notocrypta curvifascia to obtain further insight into the mitogenomic architecture evolution …

Simple Summary Insect mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) show high diversity in some
lineages. In the mitogenome of some Coleoptera species, a large intergenic spacer (IGS) …

Recent improvements in next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies can facilitate the
obtainment of mitochondrial genomes. However, it is not clear whether NGS could be …

Malaza fastuosus is a lavishly patterned skipper butterfly from a genus that has three
described species, all endemic to the mainland of Madagascar. To our knowledge, M …

We applied a novel strategy to infer sequence circularity and complete assembly of four
mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of the frog families Bufonidae (Melanophryniscus …

The systematic positions of two hesperiid genera, Apostictopterus and Barca (Lepidoptera:
Hesperiidae), remain ambiguous. We sequenced and annotated the two mitogenomes of …

Simple Summary This is the first attempt to test the validity of morphological characters to
diagnose the tribes used in the conventional taxonomy of the pyrginae skippers. Current …

We assembled a complete mitochondrial genome of a unique Australian skipper butterfly
Euschemon rafflesia (Hesperiidae) from next generation sequencing reads. The 15,447 bp …

The taxonomic placement of the moth-butterfly, Macrosoma conifera (Warren
1897)(Lepidoptera: Hedylidae), has been controversial. The 15,344 bp complete M. conifera …
