Abstract

Abstract: The complete mitochondrial genome sequenced from a xanthid crab, Leptodius sanguineus which was collected from a rocky intertidal area in Chuuk lagoon. The mitochondrial genome size of L. sanguineus evaluated as 15, 480 bp with 33.6% A, 24% C, 11.2% G and 31.2% T and mitochondrial gene order of L. sanguineus is typical to brachyuran species. Phylogenetic analysis shows that the family Xanthidae has sister group relationship with a lineage including the families Portunidae and Menippidae in the subsection Heterotremata. This is the first report for the complete mitochondrial genome from the xanthid crabs.
