Spinicaudatan clam shrimp are a widespread and diverse group of branchiopod crustaceans, yet few mitochondrial genomes have been published for this taxonomic group. Here, we present the mitogenome of from a rock pool ecosystem in Botswana. Massively parallel sequencing of a single specimen facilitated the reconstruction of the species' 15,579 bp circularized mitogenome. The reconstructed phylogenetic tree confirms that forms a monophyletic group with other diplostracan branchiopods, and that these are the sister taxon to Notostraca. The mitogenome reconstructed here is the first to be reported from a leptestherid clam shrimp.
背甲目蚌虾是一类分布广泛且种类多样的鳃足纲甲壳动物，但针对这一分类群体发表的线粒体基因组却很少。在此，我们展示了来自博茨瓦纳一个岩池生态系统中[具体物种未给出]的线粒体基因组。对单个样本进行的大规模平行测序有助于重建该物种15,579 bp的环状线粒体基因组。重建的系统发育树证实，[具体物种未给出]与其他双甲目鳃足动物形成一个单系群，并且这些是背甲目的姐妹分类单元。此处重建的线粒体基因组是首次报道的来自瘦尾蚌虾科蚌虾的线粒体基因组。
