We report the first mitochondrial genome of a Verongid sponge, from the Pacific Ocean. This has 19,620 bp and includes 14 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNAs genes, and 25 tRNAs genes. The gene arrangement was similar to the one found in two Caribbean mitogenomes previously reported. Comparative analyses revealed a few substitutions among congeneric mitogenomes. The mitogenome of could be useful to study the evolution of Verongimorpha group and also to identify adequate genes for its molecular systematics.
