In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of has been determined for the first time. The mitogenome is of 15 255 bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes and 22 transfer RNA genes. The overall base composition is 29.6%, 38.6%, 15.6% and 16.2% for A, T, C and G, respectively. The 13 PCGs of and other 12 mollusk species were used for phylogenetic analysis by maximum-likelihood method, and the phylogenetic tree demonstrated the close relationship of to species of Buccinoidea. The results are expected to provide useful molecular data for species identification and further phylogenetic studies of genus Volutharpa.
