The complete mitochondrial genome of (Malacostraca: Stomatopoda) from China and phylogeny of stomatopods.

Here, we present the complete mitochondrial genome of . The genome is 15,771 bp in length with a 68.07% AT content. It contains 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNAs genes, and 22 tRNAs. Both rRNAs are encoded on the light strand. Besides seven tRNAs are encoded on the light strand (trnY, trnQ, trnV, trnL1, trnP, trnH, and trnF), and four PCG (nad1, nad4l, nad4, and nad5) are encoded on the light strand, whereas the other nine PCGs are located on the heavy strand. Phylogenetic analysis based on mitochondrial PCGs shows two distinct groups for Stomatopoda and Decapoda. is found clustered with into a branch (BP = 100), and they grouped with other species with high support (BP = 99) in the family Squillidae. Our results shall provide a better understanding in the evolutionary histories of the stomatopods.
