Abstract
In this study, we first determined and characterised the complete mitochondrial genome of seven-eleven crab Carpilius maculatus from South China Sea. The C. maculatus mitogenome is 15,761 bp long, and consists of 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), and one control region. The nucleotide composition of C. maculatus mitogenome is significantly biased (A, G, T, and C was 35.9%, 9.8%, 35.5%, and 18.9%, respectively) with A + T contents of 71.3%. Three PCGs used an unusual initiation codon, and four PCGs were terminated with an uncomplete or abnormal stop codon. Six microsatellites were identified in C. maculatus mitogenome sequences. Phylogenetic tree showed that C. maculatus formed monophyletic clade with other Heterotremata species.
