The complete mitochondrial genome plays an important role in the research on phylogenetic relationship. Here, we reported the first complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Hwang & Takeda, 1986 (Varunidae). The complete mtDNA (15,915 bp in length) consisted of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs, two rRNA genes, and a control region. The gene arrangement was identical to those observed in the Varunidae species. The phylogenetic analysis suggested that had close relationship with other Varunidae species (, , etc.). The newly described genome may facilitate further comparative mitogenomic analysis within Varunidae species.
完整的线粒体基因组在系统发育关系研究中发挥着重要作用。在此，我们报道了1986年黄与武田（Varunidae）的首个完整线粒体基因组序列。完整的线粒体DNA（长度为15,915 bp）由13个蛋白质编码基因、22个tRNA、两个rRNA基因和一个控制区组成。基因排列与在Varunidae物种中观察到的那些相同。系统发育分析表明，与其他Varunidae物种（、等）关系密切。新描述的基因组可能有助于Varunidae物种内进一步的线粒体基因组比较分析。
