Abstract

The live-bearing fish Xenotoca variata is representative of the viviparous Goodeinae subfamily (Goodeidae) from central Mexico. The mitogenome of the X. variata consist of 37 genes in 16,462 bp. Comparing with X. eiseni, the most related of the mitogenomes included, an identity of 91.1% was found and trna-met duplication in X. eiseni is absent in X. variata. The mitogenome provide important information for future studies in evolution of the live-bearing subfamily.
