MacFarland 1909 is a morphologically diverse nudibranch found in the Pacific and Western Atlantic. The complete mitochondrial genome of has been constructed using next-generation sequencing technology. The mitochondrial genome is 14,291 bp and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 genes, and 23 genes. Molecular phylogenetic analysis using the maximum likelihood method revealed that is included in the superfamily Aeolidioidea and forms a monophyletic group with , a nudibranch of the family Aeolidiidae. This study reinforces existing taxonomic insights and provides a basis for further molecular phylogenetic analysis.
麦克法兰海蛞蝓于1909年被发现，是一种形态多样的裸鳃亚目动物，分布于太平洋和西大西洋。已利用下一代测序技术构建了其完整的线粒体基因组。该线粒体基因组为14291碱基对，包含13个蛋白质编码基因、2个核糖体RNA基因和23个转运RNA基因。使用最大似然法进行的分子系统发育分析表明，麦克法兰海蛞蝓属于海神鳃超科，并与海神鳃科的一种裸鳃亚目动物形成一个单系群。本研究强化了现有的分类学见解，并为进一步的分子系统发育分析提供了基础。
