The first mitochondrial genome of Fistulobalanus albicostatus (Crustacea: Maxillopoda: Sessilia) and phylogenetic consideration within the superfamily Balanoidea.

ABSTRACT: The first complete mitochondrial genome of the intertidal barnacle Fistulobalanus albicostatus Pilsbry, 1916 (Crustacea: Maxillopoda: Sessilia) is presented. The genome is a circular molecule of 15,665 bp, which encodes a set of 37 typical metazoan genes. All non-coding regions are 438 bp in length, with the longest one speculated as the control region (264 bp), which is located between srRNA and trnI. All protein-coding genes (PCGs) have an ATD (ATA, ATT, or ATG) start codon, except nad1, which is initiated with GTG. Remarkably, cox3, cob, nad1-5 have incomplete stop codons (T-- or TA-) and the remaining PCGs have the complete stop codon (TAA). Phylogenetic analysis based on 13 mitochondrial PCGs shows that the members of the Archaeobalanid
