| Summary: | The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Polygonia c-aureum, from Yizhou of China, is a circular molecule of 15,202 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs, and a control region. The A + T content of the overall base composition is 80.6%. All of the 13 PCGs are begun with ATN (one with ATC, four with ATT and seven with ATG) as start codon except cox1 using CGA. Ten genes are terminated with TAA as stop codon, cox2, nad4 and nad5 end with an incomplete stop codon (T). The newly sequenced mitogenome will increase the basic information of Nymphalinae phylogenetic research and can help to better understand the phylogenetic status of P. c-aureum.
