Abstract

The full-length mitochondrial genome of the triton trumpet Charonia lampas (Linnaeus, 1758) was analyzed by the primer walking method. Its mitogenome is 15,382 bp in length, comprising 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNA genes. The gene order of C. lampas is congruent with those previously reported for the infraorder Littorinimorpha. This is the first full-length mitogenome sequence for the genus Charonia. In the phylogenetic tree, C. lampas formed a monophyletic group with the other species of the superfamily Tonnoidea, but did not show the closest phylogenetic relationship to a species from the same family, Ranellidae.

Keywords: Charonia lampas; Littorinimorpha; mitochondrial genome; phylogeny; triton trumpet.

Maximum-likelihood phylogeny based on 10 protein-coding genes in the full-length mitochondrial genomes from the species belonging to the infraorders Littorinimorpha and Neogastropoda. The matrix included the first and second codon positions of 10 protein-coding genes. Two Haliotis species belonging to the Vetigastropoda were used as outgroups. A bootstrap value above 50% in the ML analysis is indicated at each node. The nerite C. lampas investigated in this study is shown in bold.
