Fig. (3) — Gene expansions in Skippers. (a) Expansion of the endochitinase-like proteins coding genes is only found in grass feeding skipper Lerema accius, but not in bean family plants leaves feeding Achalarus lyciades and other Lepidoptera genomes. (b) Catalase is the second family of genes that is expanded in L. accius but not in A. lyciades. (c) Besides one UV-sensing opsin and one blue-light-sensing opsin both L. accius and A. lyciades genome possess, A. lyciades genome encodes two more copies of green-light sensing opsins than L. accius. aly: Achalarus lyciades; pra: Pieris rapae; cce: calycopis cecrops; lac: Lerema accius; pgl: Pterourus glaucus; dpl: Danaus plexippus; hme: Heliconius melpomene; mci: Melitaea cinxia; bmo: Bombyx mori; pxy: Plutella xylostella; mse: Manduca sexta; ppo: Papilio polytes; pse: Phoebis sennae; pxu: Papilio xuthus.
