The complete mitochondrial genome of Rhynchocinetes brucei Okuno 1994 (Decapoda: Rhynchocinetidae)

Abstract

We report the complete mitochondrial genome of Rhynchocinetes brucei Okuno 1994 . The mitogenome was found to contain 16158 bp with 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes (tRNAs), 2 rRNA genes (rRNAs), and 1 putative control region. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that R. brucei was sister to Rhynchocinetes durbanensis (PP= 1), of the same family Rhynchocinetidae. These results are helpful for research on the phylogenetic and evolutionary studies of this group.
