Abstract

In this study, we determined the mitochondrial genome of a stomatopod, Chorisquilla orientalis, collected from Korean waters. The complete mitochondrial genome comprised 15,880 bp, encoding 13 proteins, 22 transfer RNAs, 2 ribosomal RNAs genes, and a non-coding A + T rich region. The overall base composition in the heavy strand was A: 35.5%, G: 12.4%, C: 18.3%, and T: 33.7%, with a G + C content of 30.8%. Phylogenetic analysis showed that C. orientalis belonged to the families Gonodactylidae and Takuidae in the same clade, and to the superfamily Gonodactyloidea within Stomatopoda. This is the first record of the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the family Protosquillidae.
