Abstract

  • We report the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Harpovoluta charcoti, a circum-Antarctic species of volutid gastropod inhabiting bathyal soft bottom substrates. The mitogenome is 15,487 bp in length, has a base composition of A (28.3%), T (37.3%), C (16.0%) and G (18.4%), and contains 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNA genes. Gene order and strand orientation are the same as in other non-toxoglossan neogastropods. Phylogenetic analyses support the monophyly of Volutidae, but not of the subfamilies Amoriinae or Cymbiinae as currently circumscribed.
