Abstract:
The mtDNA sequence of Pungtungia herzi in Korea comprises 16,599 nt and contains 37 genes (13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNAs and 22 tRNAs). The content and the arrangement of the genome of the Korean specimen were identical to that previously reported for a Japanese specimen, with 98.3% genetic similarity between the two complete mitogenomes. The pairwise distances of three complete mitogenomes obtained among Pungtungia herzi and Pseudopongtungia nigra. Pungtungia herzi and Pseudopongtungia tenuicorpa, and Pungtungia nigra and Pseudopongtungia tenuicorpa were 9.26%, 12.88% and 12.75%, respectively.
