Abstract

The mitochondrial genome of was 15,906 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, and two rRNA genes. There were four initiation codons (ATG, ATT, ATC, and ATA) for the PCGs, and the termination codon of most PCGs was TAA, except for (TAG) and (TAG). Only one PCG () and five tRNA genes ( , , , , and ) were encoded on the light chain; the other genes were encoded on the heavy chain. was most closely related to in a phylogenetic tree.
