Abstract
Ageneiosus pardalis is a trans-Andean member of the Neotropical freshwater fish family Auchenipteridae (Siluriformes). In this work, the complete mitochondrial genome of A. pardalis was pyrosequenced by FLX 454 technology. The mitochondrial genome is 16,484 bp in length and encodes 13 proteins, 22 tRNAs and 2 ribosomal RNAs. Additionally, the synteny is conserved with others species of the Auchenipteridae family as well as other Siluriformes.
