Abstract
The Pseudobrama simoni (Bleeker) is the only one species within the genus Pseudobrama of the subfamily Xenocyprinae. In this study, we first determined the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the P. simoni. The whole mitogenome is 16,618 bp in size, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes and 1 control region. The gene order and molecule structure are similar to most vertebrates. The complete mitogenome of P. simoni provides the valuable information for the biogeographic and phylogenetic studies on the subfamily Xenocyprinae.
