Integrative evidence reveals a new species of Hysterothylacium (Nematoda: Ascaridoidea), with the characterization of its complete mitochondrial genome.

ABSTRACT: The genus Hysterothylacium (Ascaridida: Raphidascarididae) is among the commonest groups of parasitic nematodes occurring in the digestive tract of marine fishes. In the present study, a new species of Hysterothylacium, H. hainanense sp. n. collected from Uranoscopus tosae (Jordan & Hubbs) and U. japonicus Houttuyn (Perciformes: Uranoscopidae) in the Chinese waters was described using integrative methods, including light and scanning electron microscopy, and ASAP and BI analyses based on the ITS sequence data. The complete mitochondrial genome of the new species was sequenced and annotated, which represents the first mitogenomic data for the genus Hysterothylacium, and also for the family Raphidascarididae. The mitogenome of H. hainanense sp
