Abstract

In this study, the complete mitogenome of Grapsus albolineatus (Lamarck, 1818) (Crustacea: Grapsoidea) was sequenced. The mitogenome of G. albolineatus was a circular molecule with 15,578 bp length. Its nucleotide composition was 26.81% A, 16.37% G, 34.51% T, and 22.31% C. It comprised 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNA), and two ribosomal RNA (rRNA). All PCGs were initiated by ATN codons, except for the atp8 and nad1 genes. Ten PCGs used a common stop codon of TAA or TAG, and the other three ended with a truncated stop codon (a single stop nucleotide T). Phylogenetic analysis revealed that G. albolineatus was closely related to species from the genera Pachygrapsus and Metopograpsus.

Keywords: Grapsus albolineatus; mitogenome; phylogenetic tree analysis.
