Nymphalidae is the most diverse butterfly family worldwide, with more than 6000 species, whereas the mitogenomic data of nymphalid species, especially the subfamily Danainae, is still lacking for more comprehensive systematic studies. To this contribution, the complete mitogenome of Danaus genutia (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae: Danainae) was determined via sequencing and annotating. The mitogenome in total consists of 15,255 base pairs (bp), containing 13 protein‐coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, 2 ribosomal RNAs, and a 440‐bp noncoding A+T‐rich region. Furthermore, phylogeny of the subfamily Danainae was reconstructed applying maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference on the basis of the mitogenomic data sets. Combined with our analysis and previous studies, the genus‐level phylogenetic relationships within the subfamily Danainae are ((Tirumala + Danaus) + ((Idea + Euploea) + (Ideopsis + Parantica))). This study offers molecular information and provides a new perspective for phylogenetic research within the subfamily Danainae.
