The taxonomy of genus Anodonta is rather ambiguous, as it has great variation on the shell shape. Anodonta lucida is an endemic species of freshwater mussel in China, characterized by shining epidermis. The complete maternal mitochondrial genome of freshwater mussel A. lucida was first determined (GenBank accession no. KF667529). The genome is 16,285 bp long with an AT content of 64.02%. All the 37 typical animal mitochondrial genes are found, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, and 2 rRNA genes. The genome also contains 24 unassigned regions, ranking from 1 to 830 bp in length, the largest of which is the putative control region (CR). The base composition of the genome is A (36.32%), G (13.01%), T (27.70%) and C (22.98%). Gene order is identical to other species of Unionidae except Gonideinae.

Acorssocheilus beijiangensis is an endemic south China stream-dwelling cyprinid species. Its complete mitochondrial genome is 16,596 bp in length, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes (ranging from 67 bp in tRNA Cys to 76 bp in tRNA Leu and tRNA Lys), two rRNA genes (959 bp in 12S rRNA and 1683 bp in 16S rRNA), and one control region (937 bp). Its overall base composition is A: 31.1%, C: 27.9%, G: 16.2%, and T: 124.8%. The complete mitogenome of the Chinese barred species of Cyprinidae could provide a basic data for further phylogenetics analysis.

Acorssocheilus wuyiensis is an endemic south China stream-dwelling cyprinid species. In this study, we decoded the complete mitogenome of Acorssocheilus wuyiensis for the first time by using whole genome sequencing approach. The complete mitogenome is 16,594 bp in length, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and one D-loop control region. Only ND6 and other eight tRNA genes are encoded on the L-strand while most of these genes are located in the H-strand. Its overall base composition is A: 31.1%, C: 28.0%, G: 16.2% and T: 24.7%. The complete mitogenome of the Chinese barred species of Cyprinidae could provide a basic data for further phylogenetic and conversational analysis.
