The complete mitochondrial genome of Cermatobius longicornis (Chilopoda: Lithobiomorpha: Henicopidae).
The first complete mitogenome sequence of Henicopidae is reported herein. The mitochondrial genome of Cermatobius longicornis (Lithobiomorpha: Henicopidae) is a circular molecule of 16,833 bp in length. It contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs, a control region and a pseudo control region. The comparability of the last 396 bp between the control region and the pseudo control region is 70.3%. The alpha strand has the following nucleotide composition: A = 4858 (28.86%), T = 5813 (34.53%), C = 3184 (18.92%) and G = 2978 (17.69%). GC- and AT-skews for the alpha strand, which can reflect the base compositional differences between the two strands, are--0.03 and 0.09, respectively. The gene order of C. longicornis is identical to that of Limulus polyphemus, except for the extra pseudo control region.
