Abstract:
Sinocyclocheilus longibarbarus and Sinocyclocheilus punctatus were collected from a karst cave Libo
County, southwest of China. The two Sinocyclocheilus species can be distinguished obviously by external
morphological characteristics. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome sequences of two
species were assembled, and both sequences reflected gene organization typical for mitochondrial
DNA of the genus Sinocyclocheilus, comprising of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA
genes (tRNAs), 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs), and a large non-coding control region. Phylogenetic
analysis showed that S. punctatus was first clustered together with S. mutipunctatus, and S. longibarbarus
was closely related to S. yishanensis. The complete mitogenome of two species may provide useful
information for the further taxonomic and phylogenetic studies.
