The complete mitochondrial genome of the Korean endemic earthworm <i>Amynthas susakii</i> Kobayashi 1936 (Clitellata: megascolecidae).

ABSTRACT: Amynthas susakii (Kobayashi 1936) is an earthworm species endemic to Korea that typically inhabits mountainous forest environments. The specimens were collected from Mount Jiri, South Korea. The complete mitogenome of A. susakii was sequenced, assembled, and annotated. The mitogenome of A. susakii is a circular DNA molecule of 15,115 bp with an A + T content of 67.7%, comprising 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and 1 control region. Phylogenetic analysis showed that A. susakii clustered with other Amynthas species in the well-supported Megascolecidae family.
