Comparative mitogenomes provide new insights into phylogeny and taxonomy of the subfamily Xenocyprinae (Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae).

ABSTRACT: Xenocyprinae is a cyprinid subfamily that not only has a discrete geographic distribution but also has a long history dating to the Early Miocene. However, it is controversial whether systematic classification and some species validity of Xenocyprinae exist, as well as its phylogenetic relationships and evolutionary history. In the present study, we first reviewed the description and taxonomic history of Xenocyprinae, and then the complete mitochondrial genome of Distoechodon compressus, an endemic and locally distributed species belonging to Xenocyprinae, was sequenced and annotated. Finally, all the mitogenomes of Xenocyprinae were compared to reconstruct the phylogenetic relationship and estimate the divergence time. The results showed that the
