The family Catophragmidae is one of the lower balanomorphs from traditional and recent multiple mitochondrial and nuclear markers molecular analysis. Here, we characterized the first mitogenome of the catophragmid barnacle , which was 15,446 bp in length with a 68.3% AT content. The mitogenome had the typical pancrustacean gene arrangement, which was identical to the mitogenome configurations of the chthamalid sp. and pachylasmatoid . On the mitogenomic tree, the catophragmid formed an independent branch that was basal to the members of the superfamilies Tetraclitoidea and Balanoidea, which was inconsistent with previous findings.
从传统的以及最近基于多个线粒体和核标记的分子分析来看，猫腹藤壶科是较低等的笠藤壶类之一。在此，我们对猫腹藤壶的首个线粒体基因组进行了特征描述，其长度为15,446 bp，A+T含量为68.3%。该线粒体基因组具有典型的泛甲壳动物基因排列，与小藤壶属物种和厚藤壶类的线粒体基因组结构相同。在系统发育树上，猫腹藤壶类形成了一个独立分支，位于四板藤壶总科和藤壶总科成员的基部，这与之前的研究结果不一致。
