The complete mitochondrial genome of Thor amboinensis (Hippolytidae, Decapoda)

The complete mitochondrial genome of Thor amboinensis was obtained and described in this study. This complete mitochondrial genome is 15,553 bp in length and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNA genes. Twenty-two genes were encoded by the heavy strand. The overall base composition of the heavy-strand was 36.09% A, 12.36% G, 14.54% C, and 37.01% T, with a high G + C content of 26.90%. The phylogenetic analysis suggested that T. amboinensis was closest to Lebbeus groenlandicus. The newly described mitochondrial genome may provide valuable data for phylogenetic analysis for Hippolytidae.
