The First Complete Mitochondrial Genome of Common Hedge Blue <i>Acytolepis puspa</i> (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae), and Comparative Genomic Analysis Within Polyommatinae. [PDF]
This study firstly reports the complete mitochondrial genome of Acytolepis puspa, providing an important mitogenomic reference for the previously unrepresented genus Acytolepis. ABSTRACT The butterfly genus Acytolepis (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae: Polyommatinae) is widely distributed in the Indomalayan and Australasian realms.
