The complete mitochondrial genome of an undescribed gnomefish species of the genus was determined using a PCR-based method. The total length of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) was 16,521 bp, and included 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes and one control region. The mitochondrial gene arrangement of this gnomefish species was identical to that of two previously described scombropid species, and , and also to those of other teleosts. Maximum likelihood analysis showed that the undescribed scombropid species is most closely related to .
