Abstract:
The tiger crab Orithyiidae is the monophyletic family of Dorippoidea. However, the systemic classification and phylogenetic studies have so far been limited. In this study, we report the first complete mitochondrial genome of Dorippoidea from Orithyia sinica. The mitogenome has 15,568 base pairs (69.5% A + T content) and is made up of a total of 37 genes (13 protein-coding, 22 transfer RNAs and 2 ribosomal RNAs), and a control region. This is the first available study on complete mitogenomes of Orithyiidae and will provide useful genetic information for future phylogenetic and evolutionary classification of Orithyiidae.
