Sumario:This dataset was assembled to investigate the evolutionary history of Hipparchia butterflies in the Canary Islands, an archipelago known for its high levels of endemism and complex colonization dynamics. Hipparchia species occur on five of the seven main islands, yet their origin, taxonomic boundaries, and diversification patterns have remained unresolved. To address these questions, we compiled molecular and geographic data representing all insular taxa along with their closest mainland relatives. The dataset includes newly generated sequences for three genetic markers (COIb, GAPDH, and wingless), as well as COIa sequences retrieved from public databases. All sequences used to build the input datasets for the analyses are available in GenBank. In addition to the sequence alignments, this data package includes the input files and corresponding results from the phylogenetic, dating, species delimitation, and biogeographic analyses described in the associated manuscript.
