Abstract

The genus Allogalathea belongs to the subfamily Galatheoidea of the family Galatheidae. Here, we report a mitogenome of Allogalathea elegans (Adams & White, 1848). In this study, we obtained the complete mitochondrial genome of Allogalathea elegans by sequencing, which was 16,263 bp in length. The mitogenome contained 37 genes, including the typical set of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and 2 Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. The nucleotides A, C, G, and T distribution was 36.40%, 19.44%, 9.09%, and 35.07%, respectively. The length of the total protein-coding genes was 11,172 bp, which accounts for 68.69% of the whole mitochondrial genome. The phylogenetic result generated by IQ-Tree based on 13 PGCs showed that the infraorder Anomura is monophyletic, and the infraorder Anomura is a sister group of the infraorder Glypheidea. The discovery of the complete mitochondrial genome of A. elegans would help to conduct in-depth research on the infraorder Anomura.
