TL;DR: Phylogenetic reconstruction places P. andremiaja as sister to Hypolimnas bolina within a monophyletic nymphalid tribe Junoniini, which is consistent with previous molecular phylogenetic hypotheses.
Abstract: The endemic Madagascar banded commodore butterfly Precis andremiaja Boisduval, 1833 (Nymphalidae) inhabits forest margins and disturbed habitats. Genome skimming by Illumina sequencing allowed the assembly of a complete circular mitogenome of 15,239 bp from P. andremiaja consisting of 80.2% AT nucleotides, 22 tRNAs, 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNAs and a control region in the typical butterfly gene order. Precis andremiaja COX1 has a CGA start codon and COX1, COXII, NAD4 and NAD5 exhibit incomplete stop codons. Phylogenetic reconstruction places P. andremiaja as sister to Hypolimnas bolina within a monophyletic nymphalid tribe Junoniini, which is consistent with previous molecular phylogenetic hypotheses.
