The snapping shrimp <i>Leptalpheus forceps</i> (family Alpheidae) has a unique natural history as an infaunal symbiont of larger burrowing crustaceans. The mitogenome of <i>L. forceps</i> was sequenced, the first for a symbiotic representative of the family and the first for a species outside of the genus <i>Alpheus</i>. The complete mitogenome was 15,463 bp in length and included 13 protein-coding genes, 12 tRNAs, and 2 rRNAs. The gene order matched all known alpheid mitogenomes. Similar to oth ...[more]
