Sumario:The Malagasy clouded mother-of-pearl butterfly, Protogoniomorpha ancardii duprei (Nymphalidae), is the Madagascar subspecies of a widespread sub-Saharan leaf-mimic. Genome skimming allowed the assembly of the complete P. ancardii duprei circular mitogenome (15,220 bp) consisting of 80% AT nucleotides, 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs, two rRNAs, and a control region in typical butterfly gene order. Protogoniomorpha ancardii duprei COX1 has a CGA start codon while COX1, COX2, CYTB, NAD1, and NAD4 exhibit partial stop codons completed by 3′ A residues added to the mRNA. Phylogenetic reconstruction places Protogoniomorpha as sister to genus Yoma within monophyletic tribe Junoniini.
