title: The complete mitochondrial genome of Pseudorhombus dupliocellatus (Pleuronectiformes: Paralichthyidae).
abstract: The Pseudorhombus dupliocellatus belongs to family Paralichthyidae of Pleuronectiformes. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of P. dupliocellatus is determined and described. The mitogenome is 16 621 bp in length and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs, a control region, and a L-strand replication origin. The arrangement of the mitogenome is identical to that of the typical teleost. The overall base composition is 26.9%, 25.3%, 31.0%, and 16.8% for A, T, C, and G, respectively, with a slight bias on A+T content (52.2%). The phylogenetic tree of 13 species all in Pleuronectiformes demonstrated that P. dupliocellatus, as well as the other Paralichthyidae fishes containing Paralichthys olivaceus and Pseudorhombus cinnamoneus, clustered in a clade and had a closer relationship with Pleuronectidae species than Bothidae ones. This study is expected to contributing to the systematic evolution of Paralichthyidae and further Pleuronectiformes.
