Complete mitochondrial genome of the Korean endemic earthworm <i>Amynthas bubonis</i> (Clitellata: Megascolecidae): mitogenome characterization and phylogenetic positioning

<i>Amynthas bubonis</i> Hong & James, 2001 is an earthworm species endemic to Korea. This species is typically found in mountainous forests at low altitudes. Specimens were collected from Mt. Deogyu in South Korea, and the complete <i>A. bubonis</i> mitogenome was sequenced, assembled, and annotated. The <i>A. bubonic</i> mitogenome is a 15,095 bp circular DNA molecule with 64.85% A + T content. It contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and 1 non-coding region (control region). Phylogenetic analysis revealed that <i>A. bubonis</i> clustered with <i>A. jiriensis</i>, <i>A. yunoshimensis</i>, and <i>M. hilgendorfi</i> in the well-supported Megascolecidae family.
