Abstract

We determined two complete mitochondrial sequences of female-transmitted (F) mitogenomes of two Hyriopsis schlegelii specimens from this species’ original habitat, Lake Biwa. The mitogenomes were both 15,951 bp in length, and the gene contents and orders agreed with those of the typical F mitogenome of Hyriopsis. Molecular phylogenetic analysis based on the previously identified 13 partial sequences confirmed that the two mitogenomes both belonged to H. schlegelii and not to a closely related Chinese species, Hyriopsis cumingii. The same analysis revealed that two mitogenomes (HQ641406 and FJ529186) previously published as H. schlegelii and H. cumingii might be misidentified.
