In this study, the whole mitochondrial genomes of and have been sequenced for the first time. The length of their assembled mitogenome sequences were 17,286 bp and 17,586 bp, respectively, both including 13 protein-coding genes, two tRNAs, and two rRNAs. Their mitogenomes offered no distinct structure and their gene order were the same as other typical scleractinians. Based on 13 protein-coding genes, a maximum likelihood phylogenetic analysis showed that are clustered in the family Plerogyridae, which belongs to the "Robust" clade. The 13 tandem mitogenome PCG sequences used in this research can provide important molecular information to clarify the evolutionary relationships amongst stony corals, especially at the family level. On the other hand, more advanced markers and more species need to be used in the future to confirm the evolutionary relationships of all the scleractinians.
在本研究中，首次对[物种名称1]和[物种名称2]的完整线粒体基因组进行了测序。它们组装后的有丝分裂基因组序列长度分别为17286 bp和17586 bp，均包含13个蛋白质编码基因、两个tRNA和两个rRNA。它们的有丝分裂基因组没有明显的结构，其基因顺序与其他典型的石珊瑚相同。基于13个蛋白质编码基因的最大似然系统发育分析表明，[物种名称1]和[物种名称2]聚集在褶叶珊瑚科，该科属于“强壮”进化枝。本研究中使用的13个串联有丝分裂基因组PCG序列可以提供重要的分子信息，以阐明石珊瑚之间的进化关系，特别是在科级水平上。另一方面，未来需要使用更先进的标记和更多的物种来确认所有石珊瑚的进化关系。
