Abstract

We report the complete mitogenome of , which is 17,750 bp in size and includes 13 protein-coding (PCGs), 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and 2 control regions. PCGs, with 13 genes, is 11,427 bp in length. All PCGs use ATN as the typical start codon except COX1 with GTG; the TAG was found as the stop codon in ND1 and ND2, the AGA was found as the stop codon in COI and ND6, the TAA was found as the stop codon in ATP8, ATP6, ND4L, ND5 and Cytb; while other 3 PCGs stop with a single T. Phylogeny reconstructed using the Bayesian inference (BI) method with 13 PCGs indicates the presence of at the root of Laticaudinae.
