Abstract:

We have determined the second mitochondrial genome of Epanerchodus koreanus Verhoeff, 1937 collected in limestone cave of Korea. The circular mitochondrial genome of E. koreanus is 15,581 bp long. It includes 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNA genes. Its gene order was different from the rest three Polydesmida mitochondrial genomes, resulted from relocation of tRNAs, rRNAs, and ND1. The base composition was AT-biased (75.1%). Phylogenetic trees displayed phylogenetic relationship, which is congruent to previous study, except Sphaerotheriidae sp. clustering with Helminthomorpha.
