Abstract
In this study, we determined and described the complete mitochondrial genome of an endangered reef gastropods Trochus pyramis for the first time. T. pyramis belongs to the family Trochidae, its natural populations were originally distributed in the Indo-West Pacific Ocean which have now reduced to near extinction because of commercial over-exploitation. The complete mitochondrial genome sequence is 18,439 bp in length containing 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes and one non-coding region (D-loop). Phylogenetic analysis employing a data set of six sequenced mitochondrial genomes in the superfamily Trochoidea suggests that T. pyramis has a close relationship with Stomatella planulata. Our results are expected to provide useful information for molecular identification of the endangered species T. pyramis and for further phylogenetic studies of the family Trochidae.
