The complete mitochondrial genome of was obtained using long and conventional PCR method. The circular genome was 15,760 bp in length, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes and a control region. Of the 37 genes, 23 were encoded by the heavy strand, while the others were encoded by the light strand. The genome composition with A + T bias (70.82%) and gene arrangement were largely identical to those observed in most arthropods, such as the mud crab (). The phylogenetic analysis suggested that was closest to The newly described mitochondrial genome may provide valuable data for phylogenetic analysis for Matutidae.
