The complete mitochondrial genome of the Indian leafwing butterfly (insecta: Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae).

The Indian leafwing butterfly (Horsfield, 1829) (Nymphalidae) is an Asian forest-dwelling, leaf-mimic. Genome skimming by Illumina sequencing permitted assembly of a complete circular mitogenome of 15,200 bp from consisting of 79.5% AT nucleotides, 22 tRNAs, 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNAs and a control region in the typical butterfly gene order.
