Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of Cucullaea labiata (Arcoida: Cucullaeidae) was firstly determined in this study in order to better understand the phylogenetic relationship between Cucullaeidae and Arcidae. The C. labiata mitochondrial genome was 25,845 bp in size and contained 12 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA and 22 tRNA genes. The number and the location of the tRNA genes were different from three Arcidae species (Scapharca broughtonii, Scapharca kagoshimensis and Tegillarca granosa). Gene arrangement also differed dramatically. The length of the non-coding regions was 10,559 bp, in which the largest one (6057 bp) included eight point nine copies of a 659 bp repeat motif. The number of repeated sequences was different in different individuals, similar to the findings from the mitochondrial genome of S. broughtonii and Placopecten magellanicus. One intron was found in cox1 gene both in CL_98 and in CL_99 individuals of C. labiata. The reason why mitochondrial introns are retained so scarcely in bivalve taxa needs further research. Phylogenetic analyses based on 12 concatenated amino acid sequences of protein-coding genes supported Cucullaeidae was the sister group of Arcidae.
