Abstract

A complete mitochondrial genome was sequenced from a grapsid crab, Grapsus tenuicrustatus (Herbst 1783), which was collected from a rocky intertidal zone of Chuuk lagoon. The size of mitochondrial genome is 15,858 bp with 31.9% A, 22.8% C, 12.2% G and 33.1% T distribution. Furthermore phylogenetic relationships of the Grapsoidea evaluated due to mitochondrial protein-coding genes. As per the obtained results, the families Grapsidae and Varunidae have sister group relationship in the superfamily Grapsoidea.
