title: The complete mitogenome ofAchalarus lyciades(Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae).
abstract: We obtained a complete mitochondrial genome of a skipper butterflyAchalarus lyciades(Hesperiidae, Eudaminae) from next generation sequencing reads. The 15,612 bp mitogenome covers 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs), and an A+T rich region. Its gene order is typical for mitogenomes of Lepidoptera. Phylogenetic analysis placedA. lyciadesas a sister toLobocla bifasciatus, the only other Eudaminae with available mitogenome.
