Clam shrimps (Spinicaudata) are a widespread and diverse crustacean group that frequent temporary aquatic habitats, but few complete mitochondrial genomes have been published for this group. Here, we report the mitogenome of an undescribed Gondwanalimnadia species from Botswana. Raw sequences were assembled into a single circular genome with a total length of 15,663 bp. Thirteen protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs, and 2 rRNAs were identified using the MITOS pipeline. The mitogenome's GC content is 33.52%. Phylogenetic analysis using protein-coding genes confirmed that Gondwanalimnadia sp. is closely related to another member of the Limnadiidae, Limnadia lenticularis.We first reported the mitochondrial genome of Centropus bengalensis. The mitogenome of C. bengalensis contains 17,117 base pairs. The overall base composition of complete mitogenome is 28.15% A, 27.95% T, 21.86% C, and 22.04% G, with 43.90% of the GC content. All genes exhibit the typical mitochondrial gene arrangement and transcribing directions. Phylogenetic analysis of 4 Centropus species was performed based on the sequence of cytochrome b gene using the neighbor-joining method and the Kimura 2-parameter model in MEGA 7.0.Diplocheila zealandica Redtenbacher is a natural enemy of aphids and larva of lepidoptera worldwide. Here, we first report the characterization of mitochondrial genome of D. zealandica in Diplocheila and its phylogenetic position. The complete mitogenome (GenBank accession number MN995217) of D. zealandica from Henan Province consisted of a circular DNA molecule of 16,190 bp (with 21.66% G + C content), which comprised 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), and 22 tRNA, and two rRNA genes. PCGs had typical ATN (Met) initiation codons and were terminated by typical TAN stop codons.The present study documented the first record of Euphlyctis kalasgramensis from Punjab, Pakistan. The specimens were collected during field visits from June through August 2018. Various morphometric measurements of E. kalasgramensis were taken and compared with Euphlyctis cyanophlyctis. Snout-vent length (SVL) was 38.11 ± 0.87 mm (n = 5), snout length was 3% of SVL, foot length was 55% of SVL, head length was 32% of SVL and weight was 8.01 ± 0.12 g (n = 5). A few specimens (n = 2) were euthanized and preserved for molecular analysis through mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene sequences. The newly obtained DNA sequences of E. kalasgramensis were submitted to GenBank and accession numbers were obtained (MK881165.1 and MK920114.1). The Maximum likelihood and Neighbor-joining trees based on Kimura 2-parameter distance resulted in similar phylogenetic trees. Euphlyctis kalasgramensis was out group in both phylogenetic trees. The interspecific divergence of E. kalasgramensis and E. BMS-387032 inhibitor cyanophlyctis was high ranging from 4% to 6% as compared to low intraspecific divergence 0% and 1%. The diversity and distribution ranges of many amphibians species are not well known in Pakistan due to lack of taxonomic information. In our recommendation, a large scale DNA barcoding is required to report more cryptic or new species from Pakistan.The first complete chloroplast genome (cpDNA) sequence of Michelia floribunda was determined from Illumina HiSeq pair-end sequencing data in this study. The cpDNA is 160,049 bp in length, contains a large single-copy region (LSC) of 88,140 bp and a small single-copy region (SSC) of 18,773 bp, which were separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IR) regions of 26,568 bp. The genome contains 132 genes, including 87 protein-coding genes, 8 ribosomal RNA genes, and 37 transfer RNA genes. Further phylogenomic analysis showed that M. floribunda was closely related to Michelia yunnanensis in Michelieae tribe.The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of a Satirid species Coenonympha amaryllis was assembled and annotated. The mitogenome is a DNA molecule of 15125 bp, and consists of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNAs, 2 rRNAs, and 1 A-T rich region. The nucleotide composition biases toward A and T is 79.4% of the entirety, which is a typical structure of Lepidopterans. All PCGs started with ATN, except cox1, which started with CGA, 8 PCGs stop with TAN and 5 genes exhibited incomplete stop codon. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that Satyrinae is a monophyletic group and Coenonympha (C. amaryllis) as sister of the genus Triphysa (T. phryne).Riccia fluitans L. is the most common species in Riccia genus. To investigate intraspecific variations on mitochondrial genomes of R. fluitans, we completed mitochondrial genome of R. fluitans. Its length is 185,640 bp, longer than that of NC_043906 by 19 bp and it contains 74 genes (42 protein-coding genes, 3 rRNAs, 28 tRNAs, and 1 pseudogene). 18 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and 19 insertions and deletions are identified, higher than that of Marchantia polymorpha subsp. ruderalis. One non-synonymous SNP is found in ccmFN. Phylogenetic trees show that R. fluitans is clustered with Dumortiera hirsuta, requiring additional mitogenome to clarify the phylogenetic relationship.We have sequenced the female type (F-type) complete mitochondrial genomes of two Hyriposis species, H. schlegelii and H. cumingii (Gonideinae, Unionidae, Unionida, Bivalvia) from Lake Kasumigaura, Japan, and inferred the Unioninae phylogeny. Complete mitochondrial genomes (H. schlegelii, 15,954 bp, LC498622; H. cumingii, 15,961 bp, LC498621) contain 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 rRNA genes, and 22 tRNA genes. Molecular phylogenetic analyses using the 13 PCGs including the two species were performed. This study should be basic data to investigate the evolution of Gonideinae and genetic diversity of Hyriposis species in local populations.We have sequenced the female-type (F-type) complete mitochondrial genome of Pronodularia japanensis (Gonideinae, Unionidae, Unionida, Bivalvia) from Tochigi Prefecture, Japan. The complete F-type mitochondrial genome (16,803 bp; LC505454) contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 22 tRNA genes. Molecular phylogenetic analyses using complete F-type mitochondrial genomes of 56 Unionida species revealed the phylogenetic position of P. japanensis in Unionidae. This study should be basic data to investigate the genetic diversity in this species.
