Abstract

In this study, we first determined and described the complete mitochondrial genome of Styracaster yapensis, a member of the family Porcellanasteridae. The complete mitogenome of S. yapensis is 16360 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and one control region. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that S. yapensis was closely related to two other Paxillosida species.
