Complete mitochondrial genomes of the slugs Deroceraslaeve (Agriolimacidae) and Ambigolimaxvalentianus (Limacidae) provide insights into the phylogeny of Stylommatophora (Mollusca, Gastropoda).

ABSTRACT: In this study, we sequenced two complete mitogenomes from Deroceraslaeve and Ambigolimaxvalentianus. The mitogenome of Ambigolimaxvalentianus represented the first such data from the family Limacidae. The lengths of the mitogenomes of Deroceraslaeve and Ambigolimaxvalentianus were 14,773 bp and 15,195 bp, respectively. The entire set of 37 mitochondrial genes were identified for both mitogenomes. Compared with the mitogenome of Achatinafulica, the trnP_trnA tRNA cluster was rearranged in both Deroceraslaeve and Ambigolimaxvalentianus. The secondary structures of tRNA and rRNA genes for the two species were predicted. Phylogenetic analyses based on amino acid sequences supported (1) monophyly of Stylommatophora, (2) divis
