Abstract
The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Gryposmylus pennyi is described in the present paper. The sequenced mitogenome is 16,255 bp in length containing the typical set of 37 genes, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and one control region. Besides, COI initiates with TCG, remaining 12 PCGs use ATN as the start codon. Most of PCGs terminate with TAA codons but COII, CytB, ND4 andND5 with a single T residue. The lrRNA and srRNA genes are 1331 bp and 793 bp in length, respectively. The control region is 1335 bp long with A + T content of 92.2%. All tRNA genes possess the typical clover leaf secondary structure except for tRNASer(AGN). The phylogenetic result supports the monophyly of the family Osmylidae and a closer relationship between Gryposmylus and Heterosmylus that belong to the same subfamily Protosmylinae.
